The suggested workflow is to use the OpenStudio Application to define your materials, create constructions, and define a construction set. Then save this as a library OSM file. When you are working on another OSM, go to "File->Load Library" then choose your library OSM. If you go to the Construction Sets tab, you will see your library objects available in the right hand tab under Library Objects. You can drag Construction Sets in from your library to your current model; this will import all the related construction and material objects.

Copying and pasting OSM files using text editors is almost always discouraged, unless there is some extreme case where it is the only solution.
