Feature Request: Add capability to "join/combine" two or more identical element types #1009

Closed kirkpabk closed 6 months ago

kirkpabk commented 6 months ago

The idea is to provide the ability to combine multiple elements of the same type (only unspecialized, unless both are specialized the same), wherein the duplicate properties of the first selected (listed) item is favored over duplicates of other selections. An option may be to allow duplicate properties to be copied (but could get messy). But this option, especially in the Validator tab, would be extremely helpful and support quicker resolution on large models without having to recreate links and other activities across multiple models.

Could save immense amounts of time and be a great right-click option in many tabs.

This can already be done using a jArchi script. I shared a script for that some years ago: https://gist.github.com/jbsarrodie/80a7bae59fb0469ab334ff13f7d6b5f9
