[EnergyPlus_Support] Copying entities within an EnergyPlus group in Sketchup

["josh_miarch" <jeemang@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm creating some geometry using Sketchup and the Energy Design
Plugin, and I've run into some difficulty when attempting to generate
multiple copies of a Sketchup entity while editing geometry within a
group generated by the "New EnergyPlus zone" command.

Sketchup allows one to create multiple instances of a copy by first
toggling the "move" tool into copy mode by pressing control and then,
after the first copy is placed, typing "X*" into the Value Control Box
(where X represents the desired number of copies). 

When I attempt to do this to entities (ie, I was attempting to create
multiple copies of a window) within an EnergyPlus group, it simply
doesn't work. I attempted to copy entities in this manner in a group
that I created manually, and had no problems. Is this a bug or am I
doing something wrong?

Many thanks,

Josh
