Blueprints in Map Editor

Using and creating blueprints in the map editor

My suggestion

I would like to suggest the idea of making it possible to use blueprints in the map editor.
This in the form of placing blueprints in the full creation of a blueprint (when placing the blueprint all entities are placed and not shadows).
Also the creation of the blueprints in the map editor functionality.

Reason

I personaly think this would be nice so that people would be able to create blueprints and maps more easily

I want to second this suggestion. I also would like to see the ability to use my blueprints when using Map Editor.

Being able to pull up and use blueprints would help in making custom scenarios much easier. I have often desired to recreate something I made in freeplay, but it was fairly complex with many pieces. Having to recreate the whole thing piece by piece, and even somewhat from memory is incredibly tedious.
