Creating Design Option Sets - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

To see and compare design options
Do either of the following:
Change the design option settings for a view. See
page 1253.
For each design option that you want to compare, dedicate a view to the option. You can place these
views on sheets for side-by-side comparisons or to show the design options to clients. See
Views to Design Options
To detail or annotate a design option
Dedicate a view to the option. Then add details or annotations to the view. Details and annotations are
view-specific; they belong to a view, not to a design option. See
on page 1249.
To create schedules for design options
Create the desired schedule, duplicate it, and dedicate one schedule to each design option. Each schedule
lists elements from the main model and elements from the specified design option. You create schedules
that are dedicated to design options in the same way that you create dedicated views. See
to Design Options
To incorporate a design option
After a design option is selected for implementation, incorporate it into the main model and delete all other
options using the Accept Primary function. See
1251.

Creating Design Option Sets

You begin the design option process by creating design option sets. A design option set is a collection of
alternatives that address a particular design problem. For example, you can create one design option set to
show different designs for the entry of a building. You can create another design option set for alternative
roof configurations. Each design option set contains one primary option and one or more secondary options.
