| So I am making a brick wall using C-frame. You can see it at my place "WIP", and it is going to take a while. I am new to studio, and I don't know how to do much with it. C-framing 1 brick into a wall at a time takes too long. The space inbetween each brick is not a stud, if that helps. I would like a way to copy and paste several pieces at once without making me have to c-frame them. Any help would be appreciated, and please leave a path on how to get to the tool or where it is on the screen. |

| It would be a lot easier if you just used studio. You can easily use the move tool to click and move a whole selection of bricks...Whats easy about brick walls too is that all you have to do is 2 layers and copy and paste them on top of each other since its the same pattern over and over again. |

| And click-select parts by holding the Ctrl key and clicking on each part you want to include in the MoveOnAxis. |

| Will it ruin the C-frame on it, like when I am fitting it to the original piece, will it have a 1 stud gap? |

| Not if you change your increments to the 1/5 or X values... Or use a Cframe plugin. With CmdUtl, I made the chimney in my showcase in half the time. |

The buttons are at the top of your screen while in Studio. It looks like a magnet with a 1 in the corner (For 1 Stud Grid), same with the magnet with 1/5 (For .2 Stud Grid) and the magnet with X (For custom increments).
Assuming you are using Studio... If not, then shame. |

| Studio's Edit... If you've been using Build, I can see why you've been having issues with efficiency... |
