Hello,
I have been trying to cut down on some time here in my office by copying all of my electrical boxes from room to room. When I copy though, I have to assign each one to a new face. Is there an option in the family that would allow me to place these boxes anywhere I would like?
Thanks

Are you copying one at a time or multiple?
If one at a time, don't copy, just create similar. That should allow you to place them.

I have multiple families (electrical receptacle's) that I am trying to copy around. Most of the jobs will have a typical room. So I will do a mock up, then will duplicate that room throughout. And I can window over every box and copy and paste them, but then I can't move them into the right place in the room. I have to click each one and assign it to a new face.

I don't like your process as I hear it. If all of these are on the same wall, then create a group that is just these, not the wall. Then you can place the group on your new wall. BUT - If these items then need to be moved to a different spacing then even this is the wrong practice. If each needs to be adjusted, then just create new and place in the correct place to begin with.

I didn't think about creating a group. I will try that. I am fine placing a new box everytime. I just gets time consuming when there are hundreds of typical rooms. They don't need to be 100% accurate per the engineers model. I just need to make sure everything is in that room so that the guys on the field know what goes in the rooms.
