Here below, you can see the different block file extensions according to there object classes:
- Track editor : *.bi6
- Road editor : *.bi7
- Tramways editor : *.bi8
- Structure editor : *.bi3
- Landscape editor : *.bi2
- Goods editor : *.bi4
- Water, airway and auxiliary editor : *.bi9
- Global editor : *.bi15

Information: The block function is particularly powerful because you can save a section of your plan made up of several classes of objects (communication routes, structures, goods, landscape elements, etc.), or only one class in particular. You just need to be in the corresponding editor to save the objects corresponding … to this editor. Example: Railroad editor active? only the recording of tracks or switches will be possible.

Mark block (select block)
You can use two selection modes: classic or lasso. To use lasso mode, please hold one of the two Shift keys before starting to mark. When the markup is complete, save it to a file for later reuse or copy it for immediate use elsewhere in your layout.
