“Copy Elements feels practical in the way Revit tools should be — I can copy elements from one 3D view to another almost like copying files, without setting up half the project first.”

“The Recover function is proper useful — it makes it dead easy to spot what's missing in the model and bring it back without digging around for ages, so good work on this one.”

Benefits
Selection freedom
Select elements from any Revit view — including 3D — and copy them to one or more open projects without preparing matching plan or ceiling views first.
Phase control
Place copied model elements into the correct destination phase automatically. Keep matching source phase names or map to any existing phase in the destination project.
Backup recovery
Compare a backup project to a destination and identify exactly which model elements are missing. Select and restore them in one step without manual inspection.
Features
Browser
Navigate model elements and family types from any open project or loaded Revit link in a grouped, searchable tree — no manual view preparation needed.
Multi-destination
Copy to one or more open projects in a single operation. Set independent destination phase options per project within the same copy run.
Restore
Detect missing model elements by comparing a backup source and destination. Primary match by UniqueId with a location-based fallback, confidence graded High, Medium, or Low.
Also included
Duplicate handling
Choose whether to keep existing destination types or abort on a type name conflict — configurable per session in Settings.
Warning suppression
Suppress Revit warning dialogs during copy operations for a cleaner, faster workflow without repeated dismissal prompts.
Link sources
Use loaded Revit link documents as source projects. Copy model elements and family types from referenced models into any open destination project.
Screenshots
Select elements from any Revit view — including 3D — and copy them to one or more open destination projects.
Browse and filter model elements from any open project or loaded Revit link in a grouped, searchable tree.
Copy loadable family types from any accessible source document to one or more open destination projects.

Backups are not the issue. The real challenge is recovering selected lost model elements from an older Revit file without reverting the active project.
Revit can copy between projects, but production work often depends on the right view context. The real friction is selecting the right elements quickly, often in 3D or from a structured browser.
A practical BIM production scenario: one approved source model, several live Revit destinations, and a need to keep selected family types aligned across the project set.
