All selected objects are removed from your model and placed on the Clipboard. Object properties and location are stored with the object.

An image stored in Clipboard can be pasted in a viewport to create a Picture.
When copying cells from Microsoft Excel or Apple Numbers to Rhino, the Paste command or Ctrl(CMD)+V prioritizes on pasting an image from the clipboard. If you prefer pasting plain text to the command-line rather than an image to viewports, the workaround is pasting to Macro Editor and then click the button.

Resolving render content conflicts

Rhino detects material, environment and texture name conflicts in the following file operations:

Import a model.
Insert a model.
Paste objects from a different model
Attach or activate a worksession model.

When a render content item name already exists in the current model, but the content settings are different, the conflicted items will be resolved based on the related advanced settings.

Search for PasteConflictOption (for paste) and ImportRenameConflictingEx (for import and insert) in Advanced settings and change the value as described below.

0 = Do not import incoming conflicted render contents.

1 = Import and rename incoming conflicted render contents with [imported] post-fix.

2 = Import incoming conflicted render contents and overwrite existing ones.

3 = Pop up the Render Content Name Conflict dialog and let you decide how to resolve the conflicts.

Resolving block conflicts

When a conflicted block is inserted, imported, or pasted into a model, you will be asked to resolve the conflict. A block conflict happens when two different blocks use the same name.

Model block

The block already defined in the model will be used instead of the block defined in the file being inserted.

File block

All instances of this block in the model will be updated.

Keep both blocks

The block you are inserting will be renamed as you specify.

Do this for all block name conflicts

The Block Name Conflict dialog box will not be displayed again.
