Build Mode Feedback for EA

Regarding this request from @aquilifer a while back:

I tend to do drafts of buildings (or, more often, parts of buildings) on large lots, so I have lots of room to play around if I suddenly need to extend something 20 squares in any direction, or such. I also frequently build several versions of the same thing right next to each other, where I can compare them. For example, about half of the individual houses in the Medieval Fantasy Town started out as autonomous structures which later got positioned into place. The trouble with this, though, is that you can't just save a building (or part of a building) to your library on a large lot, and then open it up on a smaller lot. I have a suggestion for a solution, however.

I would like a temporary clipboard of sorts. I would like to be able to save anything that can be picked up with the "Move House" command to the clipboard, exit the lot, load a different lot, and paste the building from the clipboard into the new lot. Basically, I want to be able to use the "Move House" command to pick up something on one lot and set it down on another.

It seems like it should be a pretty simple bit of programming, since the game already retains this information when you use the "Move House" command.

I just wanted to note that we are actually closer to having something like this now that you can place a portion of a saved lot built on a bigger lot onto a smaller lot. They just need to extend this functionality by *not* wiping the lot when you go to do this (need a checkmark option) *and* by giving this option for partial placement even if the saved lot is the same size or smaller. For now, you can at least use this method to save a particularly complicated piece of work and then place it on your new lot prior to starting the rest of the build.
