Prompts you:
Select at least three planar reference solids that form a 3D corner. The detail will be copied to similar corners. [selection options (?)]: (Select the first solid.)
Entities in set: 1
Select at least three planar reference solids that form a 3D corner. The detail will be copied to similar corners. [selection options (?)]: (Select the second solid.)
Entities in set: 2
Select at least three planar reference solids that form a 3D corner. The detail will be copied to similar corners. [selection options (?)]: (Select the third solid.)
Entities in set: 3
Select at least three planar reference solids that form a 3D corner. The detail will be copied to similar corners. [selection options (?)]:: (Select more solids or press Enter.)
Optional. Select detail objects (solids, block references, faces, edges,...) to be copied as part of the corner detail. [selection options (?)]: (Select detail objects or press Enter.)
Blue: detail area to be copied. Purple: reference contact area. Accept? [yes, copy as Block/yes, plain Copy/No/Inflate first/Save detail/save detail to Library] <yes, copy as Block>: (Presse Enter or choose an option.)

Command Options
| Option | Description |
| Select detail objects | Select additional solids, blocks or faces to be included in the corner detail. |
| Inflate first |
Expands the sensitive zone to include similar solids which are not connected yet. The edges of the initially detected detail are moved outward over a specified distance. Prompts you: Enter inflation distance: (Type a value). |
| Copy as Block |
This option is available when detail objects are selected only. A block is created from the selected detail objects, which is then copied. The default block names are Block, Block 1, Block 2, ... You can rename blocks in the Blocks category in the Drawing Explorer. See the EXPBLOCKS command. |
| Plain Copy |
This option is available when detail objects are selected only. The detail objects are copied as is. |
| Save Detail |
A File dialog displays. You are prompted to specify a file name to save the detail. |
| Save Detail to Library |
The Save Detail dialog displays. See the BIMCREATEDETAIL command. |
| Apply |
Accept or reject suggestions by clicking on the tick. See the Apply option in the BIMPROPAGATE command. |
Procedures
The five flavors of BimPropagate
Propagating a wall-slab connection
Propagating a column-beam connection
Propagating columns on top of a slab
Propagate a Detail in a Project
Related Commands
BimPropagate - Maps details (solids, holes, finishing geometry, ...) related to selected base solids to similar base solids in the model and optionally outlines the detail in a grid.
BimPropagateEdges - Propagates a detail along the edge of a planar solid; can be used to propagate railings, gutters, borders, wall caps, etc.
BimPropagateLinear - Propagates connections between linear elements (beams, columns, pipes, ducts and their connections to walls and slabs).
BimPropagatePattern - Propagates a single element on a flat surface to multiple locations and grids; can be used to propagate lights, light switches, windows, air diffusers, etc.
BimPropagatePlanar - Propagates connections between planar elements (walls/slabs/roofs).
