The corollary wish is for save-selection-as-module (and merge) to work in 3D.

I guess I'm unclear how a paste would handle items on different stories coming into a project that would most likely have different floor elevations from the original.

Multi-story plan selection would require potentially significant changes in ArchiCAD. Enabling copy/paste requires no new user interface and the code is really already there since we know that drag-a-copy (with elements from multiple stories) already works in 3D. So, I'm trying to make a simple, easily grantable wish here.
My original example (where I felt the wish) was having two versions open(design options perhaps - but one screwed up and one correct in my case) and copying between them. Story structure is the same. Simple.This would cover a large proportion of the real cases; there is a hanging design issue in the relationship between stories and the more fluid z-space of the 3D window...
No, I don't want elements selected on plans....make that another wish....and the interactions among selection, visibility, plan, 3D, stories, z-elevations, etc is a whole nother thing. In the meantime, if it works in one window it should work everywhere. This is a fundamental, though it's not AC's strong suit.😉

So, how about it: copy/paste from/to 3D window anyone? 😉I was also surprised about this today, I figured that it would be the easiest way to copy multiple elements on multiple stories (some of them show on multiple stories, so selection on the 2D view would duplicate some). Pressed CTRL-C, ALT-TAB, CTRL-V and then realized a feature is missing.
