Moving Elements from the Main Model to a Design Option Set

The main model consists of the entire building model, excluding elements in any design options.
Elements in the main model cannot host or reference elements in secondary options. Therefore, elements
in the main model do not change their shape or properties when you are looking at a view for a secondary
option. For example:
If you sketch 4 walls in the main model and then sketch a roof in a secondary option, you cannot attach
the walls to the roof.
To add a door or window to a design option, the host wall must also be part of the design option.
To add a skylight to a design option, the host roof must also be part of the design option.
If main model elements need to reference and update with elements in a secondary option, you must move
the main model elements into that design option. Then you can edit the design option to modify those
elements as desired. (See
