copy/paste warning

Dave Brach — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 17:25:21 GMT

When I copy/paste a wall from one story to another I get the message "some of the elements you are trying to paste are hidden in the current renovation filter" even though the renovation filter and the elements are identical between stories. In this case the wall is set to show on the renovation filter on each story.

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon

Hi,

did you check also if the doors and windows in the selected wall may be the culprit?

or try the same thing with a “blank” wall, to see if you run into the same issue.

Hi, thanks. The "blank" wall does not have the issue. But any wall with windows and/or doors has the message, even though the windows and doors are set to "existing/show". It's a minor thing. If other people don't have the issue, must be something with my favorites.

are any of them pinned to a renovation filter combination?

nothing is pinned. I tried adding a random door from the library and it worked fine. Then I tried a door from my favorites, and I got the message again. Under door settings>renovation, renovation status is "existing" and show on renovation filter is "all relevant filters". But it definitely is the door/window. My guess is the favorite was created multiple ACAD versions ago.
