Paste-in-place not working
Paste working just fine
Restarted computer. Uninstalled and reinstalled.
Updated OS.
Nothing is working.
Thatās odd. Is it not working when choosing paste in place from the edit menu? Or just not working via shortcut key?
Neither the shortcut key nor the edit past-in-place are working.
What are you trying to copy? Maybe it creates a file that is too large.
Share the model file.
Iāve tried a single simple plane and it still does not work.
What is your shortcut key combo ?
I suspect this is a MAC OS issue ??
It is not a shortcut key combo
it simply wonāt paste-in-place
Iāve tried copying from edit and pasting-in-place from edit
Paste works just fine
Itās paste-in-place that is not working
I updated my OS and it is still occuring
Is the āsimple planeā a group?
What does āEntity Infoā say if you window select the āsimple planeā? 1 or n groups?
it is not a Group or Component and is not associated with a Tag
If itās all basic geometry, how would you know that āPaste in Placeā isnāt working?

Paste in place puts the copy directly on the original. If the original is all edges and faces, SketchUp will immediately de-duplicate them (if there is such a word) just as it would do if you drew a second rectangle exactly onto an existing one. Paste in place is meant mainly to let you select geometry inside a group or component, exit that context, and put a copy in the same model coordinates as the original but outside the group.

Itās all geometry
correct. this command simply isnāt working
Iāve tried copy + paste-in-place using a variety of shapes / objects, not just a single plane. Itās not working across all aspects
Please watch this.
If you copy a rectangle and āpaste in placeā - it will merge with the one you copied.
If you copy a rectangle that is a groupā¦ you can paste in place as many times as you like and they will all be there.
So you change the context while using āPaste in Placeā? If not, you will not see anything happening.
Do we have to drag everything out of you to see what you are doing?
Open two new files.
Draw a rectangle in one.
Copy the rectangle.
Switch to the second file.
Paste in place.
It should be in the same place.
Create a large rectangle.
Make it a group.
Draw a new smaller rectangle and color it red.
Make is a group.
Edit > Cut the red rectangle.
Double click the large rectangle to open the group.
Edit > Paste in Placeā¦
The red group should appear exactly where you cut it from, but it is now in the large rectangle.
Hereās a video of me making a mortise that matches a tenon by copying the tenon in one component, opening the other and doing paste in place.

No, you misunderstood what I wrote. Copy and paste-in-place for geometry works the same way as if you drew a second identical set of geometry in the same context and location in the model: SketchUp merges them leaving only one. To get a second set of geometry, you need to paste it in a different edit context.
