Similar Stories option. An object drawn in plan or 3D view will occur at all stories that are designated as similar to it, if it is
designated as a master story, or at the master story and all similar stories if it is not a master story but is similar to a master
story. Object selection and assignment behave in a manner comparable to drawing; that is, selection of one object will result in
objects of the same type in the same location on similar stories to also be selected and, where appropriate, assignments made.
