You could save them out as modules and merge the modules. Not exactly what you are looking for and takes fore thought and organization.

Is there a way to copy/import/whatever an independent detail from one project to another. Right now, say we have an independent detail in project A and want to use it (but slightly modified) in project B, we have to create a new independent detail in project B then open project A, go to the detail, copy all, and then go back to project B open the empty detail and paste, then create new view, etc etc. Is there a way to import the detail directly, like when importing a view in plotmaker. Click import, browse to project containing detail, select detail from list, done. We have a file set up containing all our "standard" details and can import views directly from that file into plotmaker, but there are many "standard" details that require a bit of tweaking from project to project.
Thanks

If you are mining a lot of details from the same file, you can open the source file in BGArchiCAD or a second copy of the ArchiCAD application folder and the copy/paste by switching back and forth between the two applications. At least the copy/paste process is a little faster this way.

That's exactly what we already do, still copy and paste is not the solution I am looking for.
