Surface clipboard copy - paste does not work fine

[tonnot]

You can copy both the surface and the original (in this case contour polylines) data or only the surface. In both cases paste operation results into a copy of both data and surface.

Ok, But when paste and rebuild, the distance from original base point and destination point is applied in turn to the surface itself. 

Maybe it is a BUG ?

If you only copy the surface this won't happen.

To get the surface back where you want it, look in the edits for "Transform by......" and disable or delete that edit.

You may want to check but last time I read C3D's doc's the clipboard was not supported for C3D objects. It works in most cases but this would not be a bug. The answer lies above my nonsense here. Copy the surface only.
