# Copy/Paste Hierarchy

Let's copy/paste complex hierarchies.

**Transform More** allows you to copy and paste transformation information for child objects simultaneously, streamlining your workflow and saving you time.

* &#x20;:warning: When searching for copy/paste targets, **Transform More** uses the object name as a reference. If the child object has a different name, copying and pasting may not work as intended..

## Step 1 - Copy

* Select multiple objects with complex hierarchy.\
  :warning:When selecting objects with complex hierarchy, only select the **top-level objects** and avoid selecting the child objects.
* &#x20;Once you've selected the objects you want to copy **transformation information** from, click the ![](https://2814006671-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzCVoXZeCyn05DRkqzU51%2Fuploads%2FqhSxitqzrovZL9IIxSRr%2Fbtn-copyDeep.png?alt=media\&token=26af03b7-ea5f-4ce2-835c-af283983c4c5)**Copy** button to initiate the copy process.

## Step 2 - Select Target

* To **paste** the copied transformation information to other objects, select all the objects you want to apply the information to.\
  :warning:When selecting objects, only select the **top-level objects** and avoid selecting the child objects.

## Step 3 - Paste

* **Local/World** Specifies the coordinate space to use for copy/paste.\
  &#x20;  When using the "**Local**" option, we highly recommend that all objects are placed under the same parent. This will ensure that the objects align properly and give you the desired result.
* ![](https://2814006671-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzCVoXZeCyn05DRkqzU51%2Fuploads%2FbiWqaXaWpMyiBEHWMhE8%2Fattribute2.png?alt=media\&token=b4c59f8d-d111-4f5c-ba86-aaea5feabad6)   choose the specific **attributes** you want to paste.\
  :warning:The attributes selected apply only to the **top-level objects** that are currently selected. Child objects are pasted with all attributes.
* click the ![](https://2814006671-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzCVoXZeCyn05DRkqzU51%2Fuploads%2FcdPAqIbtzBrkrLzKpEnY%2Fbtn-pasteDeep.png?alt=media\&token=8205d681-51ef-4500-9614-aa9081fec323)**Paste** button to apply the copied transform information to the selected objects.
