BreakdownReuse a catalog item from a nearby scene
Add an item you already track, such as a bus or a prop, to another scene with one click.
Before you start
- Other scenes already use catalog items.
Steps
Find Quick reuse from nearby scenes under the categories and look at the small buttons.
Each button is a catalog item used in nearby scenes, with its category mark and name, for example Night bus and Soldering iron. Hover over one to read its category and the scenes that use it.
Click the button of the item this scene needs.
The item is added to the scene at once and appears under its category. A message says Reused the item in the scene, with an Undo link. If the scene already has it, the message says Already in this scene. The picture shows how a finished element looks in the panel.
What you get
The scene lists the reused item, and the Catalog counts one more scene for it.
Watch out for
- The buttons appear only when nearby scenes have items you can reuse. A scene with nothing nearby shows no Quick reuse row.
