    Default Cant Copy and Paste objects aligned between project files

    I really need help with this situation. I have an detatched central model in which i made a selection of objects.
    I simply want to copy and paste these objects from this central model into my template file. But that is the only problem I encounter.

    As you can see in the attachment on the left my selection in the central model file, and right you can see my template file which already contains links on the align place. These object seem to be on the same place etc. But whenever i select my selection in the central model and copy this to paste it wont simply align on the right place in my template file... And i've tried different paste options, but i'm out of options.

    Does anyone how i can paste these walls on the right place in my template file?

    Are you pasting in 3D view or a plan view/level?

    Assuming they both have the same levels..
    I would suggest getting in an appropriate level in each file and "Copy" from the central and "Past Aligned To Current View" in your template.

    Just a suggestion

    I've tried this, but it will be pasted at the same location. How is this possible? If i copy and paste something it should align between projects..?

    As Ted said, it would have to be copied and pasted into plan views by each level, not from/to a 3D view.
    It requires a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious.

    Maybe there is some kind of option to copy and paste from project base points? Like the option that's available for Revit Links to attach them?

    I can't tell from the images if it is pasting in the wrong place by x & y or just z. If it is just z then I would assume it is being pasted in at the wrong level.

    Failing everything else I would link the file, move it to the correct position, then bind it.

    I have actually found out what the problem was, I simply clipped the base / survey point, and that made me unable to adjust te project base standards in my template file to the project base standards I was working on. Kinda stupid
