In order to edit elements you need to select them. In Allplan you usually select the edit tool (e.g., copy) first and then the elements to which you want to apply this tool. This also works the other way round in most edit tools: select the elements first and then the tool.
You can select elements either by clicking them or by defining a region around the elements you want to select. You can use the Filter Assistant toolbar or the shortcut menu to help you select elements.
