I'm trying to copy a collection of objects from one .blend file to another. I tried append, and then I tried copy and paste with 2 instances of Blender windows open. In both cases, the objects become invisible after they are appended or pasted

Original objects:

original objects

Pasted objects:

pasted objects

dimensions of pasted objects:

dimensions of pasted objects

If I press N, I can see that the pasted or appended objects have a dimension of 0,0,0.

What did I do wrong?

hey I figured out the cause for the problem. The objects all had a Build modifier on them. After I removed the Build modifier they were able to be copied and pasted like normal. As instructed I'm putting this here as an answer in case someone encounters the same problem and finds this post.
