(1) selection at various views (2) copy elements along Z in plan and 3D views

[Anonymous]

hello, 2 questions please:
(1) in Revit, when select one element in one view, the selection also shown in other views, how can I do this in Archicad?
(2) in the plan vew or 3D view, how to copy an element (say column) from G/F to L2?(seems the tracker Z unable to edit)
Thanks

It is best to post 2 separate questions please.

1). You can't (although I believe there is an add-on you can purchase from CadImage).

2). You can simply change the 'Home Storey' in the element settings. This will change the storey and keep the same height relative to the storey (i.e. height above floor).
If you want to keep the same 3D position but just change the storey, you can right mouse click the element and choose 'Relink Home Storey'.

Sorry I missed the 'copy' bit.
In plan, select element, copy, change storey, paste (this will automatically reset the home storey).
In 3D drag a copy and reset the storey as I mentioned before.
