Used this trick back in 2018 but its more useful to open the linked file and select/filter everything you need then copy to cilpboard and use align paste in your model.

I'm seeing electrical items in our rvt. of a building link, which has an electrical links as an overlay. buts its an overlay not really there. I was able to copy and paste to same place for receptacles/swtiches on the walls but not the ceilings can lights even tho i can see them its saying " the following types already exist but are different."

Ceiling Types : Ceilings : Compound Ceiling : 5/8" GYP BD X2 Ceiling
Family : Lighting Fixtures : 2651-Downlight-Recessed Can_LTF_CB_AD : Lighting Fixtures : 2651-Downlight-Recessed Can_LTF_CB_AD : 6" Incandescent - 120V
Level Types : Levels : Level : 1/4" Head
Loaded Family Information : : 6" Incandescent - 120V
Materials : : Gypsum Board
Materials : Materials : Gypsum Board

I click ok and it says this

"Can't place inserts outside of hosts. These elements wont be copied, Elements will be deleted"

Not sure how to fix. Thanks

Thanks a lot for the tip but i used it and it seems it doesn't work for all elements by showing " can't copy part of element " message ? probably it has to be a system family not a loadable family OR WHAT ?

Question. We have a navisworks file with some pretty detailed equipment from a supplier for an industrial building that we are designing. That is all they are comfortable sharing with us. Is there a way to get this file to actually plug into the revit file so that I can actually see it in enscape? When I open enscape navisworks files don't show up. Not sure if there is a work around or not.

Hey Jeff, does this work with any family? I did something similar but it was using copy/monitor as the items i copied were wall based...

This could be the solution i'm looking for! I've got this linked model that i'm trying to bind and ungroup but it always gives me critical errors and forces me to cancel. Didn't know you could just copy from links.. Is there a way to select everything without doing it one by one?
