Oh, I don't know if this is related, but I can't get the Edit-->Find function to work. Is it because I've got something in the Render Window?

Hi, I was working on tutorial #3 and I realized that I would've liked a certain shortcut, which hopefully already exists. Here's the nub of the issue: I would like to take an existing object's coordinates and replace it with another object or simply lay the second object on top of the first. I realize that I can copy and paste the x, y, z coordinates one at a time, but I'm hoping for something a little less tedious. One can only hope, eh?

You can select and object and chose Edit>Search&Replace which will then let you replace the selected object with something else. The new object will have the same coordinates and rotation etc, but depending on what you replace it with you may have to manually adjust it anyway. You can replace every instance of one object in a cell at once, but again, if manual adjustments are needed you will have to do all by hand. 
As for Find, I've never used that feature and it doesn't appear to do anything. Some things were disabled by developers before release to modders maybe that among them
Use Find Text to find an object you are looking for. Once you have the proper ID and location, the list is alphabetical.

Awesome! I suspected it *had* to be in there somewhereYou can select and object and chose Edit>Search&Replace which will then let you replace the selected object with something else.

Good thing to know that I should've used Find Text. Alphabetical is nice and all, but only if you know what you're looking for
