Cannot Paste Selection

Error: Cannot paste selection in <view_name> view.

Issue: Revit is unable to paste the selected element in the view.

Solution: If you tried to paste a wall in an elevation view or a section view, you see this message. Try pasting in a plan, reflected ceiling plan, or 3D view. This message also displays if you try to paste a group of elements that cannot be pasted into a certain view, for example, a column group into an elevation view.
