Q: Can't export FCPX 10.2.1 project & library to external drive

I have a project started on FCPX 10.2.1 that I would like to duplicate (library, project & all clips) to an external drive to be edited by an editor also using FCPX 10.2.1..

Although this seems like it should be a simple process, I am having trouble finding current instructions.

I have tried:

http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0.6/#verb8e5fcf4

and

Final Cut Pro X: Edit your project on a different computer

but these keep asking me to duplicate a project using the "Project Library", which does not seem to exist on v10.2.1

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Mac Pro (Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

I also followed this link, but "consolidate" will not allow me to select an external drive:

If you want to put a copy of the library on another drive, do that in the Finder. Just drag the library to the other drive and it will be copied.

The Consolidate command would be used to round up any media that's not in your library and put a copy of it there.

Here is a useful reference document. Also see this doc.
