How to use keyboard shortcuts in the building model tree
Purpose
Section titled “Purpose”Work faster in the building model tree: move, copy and reorganize constructions and products with the keyboard instead of menus.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”Click a row in the building model tree first, so it’s selected. The shortcuts only work while the tree has focus.
Shortcuts
Section titled “Shortcuts”| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on Mac) | Copy the selected row |
| Ctrl+X (Cmd+X on Mac) | Cut the selected row. It dims until you paste it |
| Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac) | Paste the copied or cut row onto the selected location |
| Alt+↑ / Alt+↓ | Move the selected row up or down among its siblings |
| → | Expand the selected row |
| ← | Collapse the selected row |
| Ctrl+U (Cmd+U on Mac) | Unlock the selected row, same conditions and confirmation as Unlock |
| in the row’s action menu | |
| Escape | Closes the row’s action menu if it’s open. Otherwise clears a cut or copied element |
Things to watch out for
Section titled “Things to watch out for”- The shortcuts are disabled while you’re typing in a text or number field, so normal copy/paste in fields works as usual.
- Cut and paste don’t work on locked and archived versions or on elements locked by a library. You get a warning instead of the action happening.
- Alt+↑/↓ only moves the row if the tree is set to Custom order. In Alphabetical view, the app asks you to switch view instead.
Other general shortcuts
Section titled “Other general shortcuts”- Enter saves what you’re editing in a field, the same as clicking outside it.
- Escape undoes a number you’re typing, and closes most dialog boxes.
