h. To bring the model elements in line
i. To rotate the model elements
j. To move an object to another location
k. To copy a model element
l. To mirror an element about an axis
m. To create an array of model elements

b. To create similar doors and windows in a floor plan layout - CS
c. To reduce the thickness of lines visible in plan views - TL
d. To apply override settings to a floor in the model section view - EOD
e. To increase the range of visibility in a plan view - VR
f. To select the previously selected items - CTRL + <
g. To add annotations to the model views - DI
h. To bring the model elements in line - AL
i. To rotate the model elements - RO
j. To move an object to another location - MV
k. To copy a model element - CO and CC
l. To mirror an element about an axis - MM
m. To create an array of model elements - AR
