That would work but it wont let you copy models in if they aren't hosted to the same thing.  because the model i want to copy the the family type data from is a wall based and the one i want to paste it to is a  non hosted model

Oh, you can convert a wall based family to a face based, then edit the face based to get rid of the face to make it a non host.
