Can't paste from a project to a family?

So you decide that something in your project would be better off being used
as a family. But if you try to paste it into a Generic Model family, Revit
won't let you?

WHY? Sorry - but that's just stupid. I can see why it might not let you do
that in some cases, but in this case. we're talking some simple 2D reference
line and model line geometry that will, at some point be fleshed out into
something more detailed as the project progresses.

Yes, I know I can make it a group, but I really don't see the logic for not
allowing objects, ANY objects to be pasted into a family.

Anybody got a workaround?

If you make it a group, save it and import it in the family??? I don't know,
haven't tried that yet, it's just an idea

pointless restrictions

I'm sure there's a reason for it. I can see why some things would not be
"paste-able" into a family. But there should be a way to do it for items
that would not be inappropriate for the particular family that you're
editing.
