The block structure can be copied/pasted as well as mirrored and the usual other transformations. This enables you to mesh a part of a repetitive model and therefore save time. Even if the model is only partially repetative, the transformed blocks can be modified individually.

Blocking only half the model can save some time |
Then Mirror the topology to complete the model |
 |
 |
Use Topology Transformations to repeat complex portions |
Copy for similar topology, it doesn't need to be exact because the copies are each as flexible as the original and can be modified to fit. |

Load and arrange sub topologies (such as empty or full chairs) to create complex blocking assemblies. The train cabin may include seats facing in different directions, etc. The compartments may also be combined to form the full train car. In the aircraft example, there was also a simple topology created for the aisle space and the over head space. Other topology were created for the galley, toilets, closets, etc. In fact, a script was created to automate the entire procedure |
