m. To create an array of model elements

ANS 1)

The shortcut keys for the above mentioned tasks are :
a. Using 3D model create a section box = BX
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 + <- ( CONTROL PLUS LEFT ARROW)
g. To add annotations to the model views = DI
h. To bring the model elements in line = AL
