There are some really common items around my city that I find myself adding a lot, and it's a pain to either place them and add the tags from scratch or to pan around the map until I find one to copy. It would be cool if I could save templates of these items to place! Things like the silver bike racks the city installs, or the round planters they place to block off alleys with. Things that are the same every time.

Just rambling, haha.

Great idea. I could even imagine a library of standardised buildings, that are common in a region. Like smaller train stations, soviet blocks, American suburb houses and so on.

All you can do rn is coppy a building from somewhere else. Might even work from a different tab.

I didn't know I wanted this but that is a fantastic idea.
