How to copy model to another file on sketchup pro 2023.1?

Copy and paste between open files is broken in 2023.1 for Windows, it is a bug. There is a temporary solution which will restore the capability for that session which is to copy anything in the second instance. The directions are in this post.

If you have two versions of SketchUp open, or two instances of 2023.1, pasting into the second instance may not work at first. To work around that, do a Copy of anything in the second instance. That seems to wake up the clipboard, and you can now copy and paste from the first instance into the second instance. After having done one Copy action, copy and paste should work until you next restart SketchUp. I added this note, to say that the 2023.1.3 update fixed the problem with copy and paste.

Can you fix it in next version？It is urgent ！！！

I’m sure it will be fixed as soon as possible but if it’s urgent, follow Colin’s advice in the post above yours. That works.

Thanks for this tip. I have been struggling with this all morning. I have version 23.1.329. Maybe the latest update will fix this.

It was fixed already, you should be able to copy and paste from one file into another without any other work around. By the way, your profile says that you are using sketchup 2021, you should update it cause it could be confusing in case you request help, some solutions could be different depending on the version you’re using actually.

copy something inside of your current drawing first and then paste it in that current drawing.
and then you are good to copy from another drawing file and paste it into your current drawing file.
here is worked. hope you are okay with this solution.

There’s no need to do that, the latest update fixed this bug, now you can copy and paste from one file into another without doing anything beforehand.

Maybe in stead of copy&paste a model from one file to another, you could also save the seperated model first, and insert it as a component in each file you want to use it.

Big pro of using components/saved files as a compontent, you only need to edit the original once so you can reload your changes in the files you imported it.

To copy a model to another file in SketchUp Pro 2023.1, open the source file containing the model you want to copy. Use the Select tool to highlight the entire model or specific parts you wish to copy. Then, right-click and choose “Copy” or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on Mac). Open the target file where you want to place the copied model and use Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac) to paste it. Position the model as needed in the new file. Make sure both files are compatible and that the target file is set up to receive the copied model correctly.
