Load Families from One Project to Another

It would be great if you could load a Revit family from one project to another, similar to how you can duplicate layers in Photoshop from one open file to another. It would skip the extra step of having to open the family file from the second project and then load it into the new project. Alternatively, it could work similarly to how you can load views from other projects where you can load from a list of families in your new project. This is something that could be helpful if you don't know the route file location of your family.

If you open those projects in the same Revit-session, you can Copy / Paste Families between projects. And for System Families, there's the Transfer Projects Standards option. Though it would be nice if Copy / Paste would also work in separate Revit sessions.

@Simon_Weel this is a great feature but you still have to have both projects open, correct?

@AnonymousWhat's easier than copy-paste? Do you prefer to browse deep paths and search countless folders to find some shady column family? Do you remember the path correctly? It's easier for me to remember a have a certain family in a certain project than searching down the jungle in my computer. When i open the project i can see and make sure that's the family i want to reuse, no small thumbnails preview, just the real deal.
