How to repeat copy using a Chromebook?

I have my 8th graders build a deck in SketchUp for Schools and last year I was able to repeat copy using the move tool and the ctrl key and then type ‘x’ and the number of repeats that were needed. This year it doesn’t seem to be working and all I can do is ctrl C to make one copy and it seems to appear randomly. Am I doing something wrong?

There was a change to the modifier key function earlier this year. Don’t hold Ctrl. Get the Move tool, TAP Ctrl and then proceed to make the copies.

Thank you! That worked.

You’re quite welcome.

Another new option is Stamp. Double tap Ctrl after getting the Move tool and you can put copies all over the place, not just in a line.
