Copy detail groups between projects

[shehab_fekry]

I have a template file that has many detail groups, how can I search by group type name and copy that type from that template to my active project using Revit API. that can be done manually by selecting detail group type from project browser in template file .. press Cntrl + C then go back to my project and press Cntrl + V

I cannot vouch specifically for detail groups, but I can say that in general, the Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V copy and paste functionality is provided by the Revit API in the CopyElements method overloads:
