Copying and pasting from one version of revit to another

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew if its possible to copy a detail line from Revit 21 into Revit 22? I've tried copy to clipboard and it works in the same version, but when I open my Revit 22 project, it doesn't give me the option to paste it. is there a way round this? or is it not possible between two different versions?

Open a copy of the 21 file in 22 then copy paste.

I think you misunderstood @ToanDN - or we're misunderstanding you. If you want to copy content from 21 to 22, UPGRADE 21 to 22, and then copy/paste between them or use Transfer Project Standards or load one RVT into the other RVT. So on and so forth. "Upgrade" is the operative word.

@ajhN9T6C

Another suggestion to quicken the upgrade process when dealing with a large RVT project file (or on a slower PC), is to export out the only the elements needed:

Create a detail group with the 2D line in question in the earlier version;
Save the detail group out as a RVT project from the earlier version;
Open and upgrade the smaller RVT detail project file in the later version;
Copy and paste to your later version version RVT project.

Hope this helps,
