How to join Sculpt "forms" into single form

This is maybe something simple I am missing....or maybe I "did it wrong".  I am trying to find a profile of this channel.  The channel has five surfaces (side, side wall, center channel, other side wall, other side)...kind of like a serif "-_-" shape.

 

Anyway, I created a center strip, and will use snapping later on to really get it to match an STL/scan.  I then came back later and started a new "form" body, and did another strip.  I had lunch, came back and did another strip in another body.

 

My problem:  I really need to join all these together in the Sculpt workspace with a bridge (to get the side walls), and then some subdivisions, and some pulls will get me there.  The problem is, I careted those "forms" in separate operations, and I can't see how to merge them into one body for the bridging and pulling, etc:

I am looking to see how to copy/paste, or do something to merge all of these T-splines into one form?

 

Thanks!

Ah, and right when I asked it, I figured it out <sigh>, but also <yay>:

 

Go into any Sculpt form, "save control frame as obj"....import the obj into other object, and "convert quad mesh to tsplines"...and it works!

Well ... that works, but you can also copy/paste t-spline geometry between the 3 different T-Splines.

Enter the Sculpt environment of the object you want to copy, then double click on the geometry to select all of it and then richt-click and select “copy” from the menu.

Then you can finish that form and go into the form environment that you want to paste into and simply right click into open space and select “paste”.

 

At least this used to work.

Ah, I see that you're right!  I got stuck at the very first operation, which is "Move/Copy" which only stays within the same form, and requires a movement to enable the tool.  I just had blinders on, but yes, your way also works (probably even better).
