Create similar should also work when multiple elements are selected

Create similar should also work when multiple elements are selected

If you have a number of lines selected that all of the same type, the CS keyboard shortcut won't work. The create similar entry from the context menu is also greyed out. Stop that.

Existing tools would extend to more use cases.

Offset: would move or copy an element perpendicular to the selected reference by the given offset.

Create Similar on multi select: if a group of selected objects is unhosted or has parallel constraints, it would place a group of selected elements (maybe a temporary Assembly) on your mouse pointer, located at the placement point of the first selected element

Other productivity improvements that employ currently existing Revit behavior in a context where it's currently not possible (suggest below)

The contextual menu with the option to create a similar object should be made available as an option even when the current selection has multiple instances yet are of the same type.
