Copy\Pasting\Dragging Tiles?

In Torque2d, is it possible to copy\paste sets of tiles, instead of just one with the brush tool?
Can you use the brush tool and save a group of tiles together, that might get used often?

I know you can select a group of tiles with shift, but when you save it to a brush, it only saves one?

Also, when I make a tile collidable able, it glows green, but also has a big yellow box that draws over it. The yellow box is kind of distracting and nearly covers the entire tile. Is that normal? It's so annoying I'm actually using polygons to make areas solid, and just setting them to not be visible them when the map loads.

Or, maybe I'm going about this the wrong way.

Should I be putting reusable objects of maybe 6-10 tiles in their own tile layers, and paste those around?
