    <description>&lt;P&gt;Currently there is no option to use the "Insert Views from File" functionality directly with the Revit API.&amp;nbsp; It would be great if that was exposed as a Revit API method to get around the hurdles and limitations of using the&amp;nbsp;ElementTransformUtils class.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;ElementTransformUtils.CopyElements(...) is limited in what it can copy from Document to Document, and doesn't have the full functionality for a full copy of drafting views or sheets if there are elements placed on those views that are considered as "View-specific", such as callouts or section lines.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For example, you can have a drafting views that contain Section &lt;EM&gt;references&lt;/EM&gt; to another drafting view, but they are just references and not actual section cuts in a model. If you attempt to use&amp;nbsp;ElementTransformUtils.CopyElements(...) on those drafting views, the Revit API &lt;U&gt;will fail&lt;/U&gt; because it considers those section references as elements not able to be copied. That said, that same drafting view &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;I&gt;is able to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;copy over from Document to Document just fine using the "Insert Views from File" command.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Please&lt;/EM&gt; expose "Insert Views from File" in the Revit API!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I just ran into this exact same issue.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I tried to collect all the views referenced in the main drafting views and add them to the List of ElementIds that is passed as argument #2 to CopyElements, but it still does not work.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We need this command exposed or CopyElements needs an overload to also copy referenced views.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
