Is there an option in the latest release of BlenderBIM to transfer properties like Pset_BeamCommon from one beam to all other beamtype instances?

A few bits of additional functionality, that would be nice as well..

Looks cool! but it;s confusing to me, could you explain in detail and step by step what you are doing in this clip please? ?

And as of this commit, you can't anymore. haha.

I'm sure @Moult will do a better job. :)

It was easy,

select those objects you like to add the values to.
then shift select the object that has the property values you'd like to copy. This will make it the active object.
open the properties panel (and make changes if you want) and click the save button.
voila, it adds those values to the other objects. Currently the other objects need to have the pset added.

Would be cool if a "match properties" cursor could be made. Similar to Revit or Autocad.
