Did you find the Group/Ungroup buttons yet?
As Philo said, LDPC only knows triangles.
With Group/Ungroup it is easy to Copy "primitives" but only if you Ungroup the primitives first.
Select Primitive mode.
Select the primitive you want to split.
Click on Ungroup.
I have done this, and coloured every triangle in the ungrouped primitive. One colour for each uniqe primitive in my pattern.
When I'm satisfied with a section of the pattern, select every wanted triangle in the pattern, use Group, set the origin of that group, (I often use the center of the sticker I'm working on, 0 , 0 ) and then it is possible to multiply the pattern by copying that group of triangles.
After an export it is possible to replace all triangles in a specific colour with the wanted primitive, if you want to do that.
I find the Group/Ungroup to be useful in this kind of repetitive patterns.
