Room Tags for Design Options

A room is a model element. You can add a room to a design option. A room tag, however, is a view-specific
annotation element. When you tag a room that is part of a design option, the room tag is part of the view,
not part of the design option.
By default Revit Architecture displays room tags for rooms that you add to a design option. If you later create
a dedicated view for that design option, room tags display if you create the view using Duplicate
View Duplicate with Detailing.
If room tags do not display in a dedicated view (for example, because you used Duplicate View
to create the view), you can add room tags to the view. See

Room Volumes for Design Options

When you use design options, Revit Architecture
To define the perimeter of the room, Revit Architecture uses the walls and room separation lines that
are room-bounding for the design option. (See
To define the upper and lower boundaries of the room, Revit Architecture uses ceilings and floors defined
in the current design option, in primary options of other option sets, and in the main model.

Design Options and Worksets

You can enable worksharing so that team members can work on different parts of a project at the same time.
For a workshared project, all design options and design option sets are included in a Project Standards workset
called Design Options. (See
To edit an element in a design option, the element and its design option must be editable. See
Elements on page 1198.

Design Options and Area Analysis

You cannot add area schemes to design options. To perform area analysis with different design options,
create multiple area schemes. Create an area plan for each area scheme, and set the area plan view visibility
to show the desired options. While editing the main model, create all area calculation boundaries and tags
in that area plan view.
For more information about area analysis, see

Design Options and Wall Joins

The cleanup of joins between walls in the main model and walls in the primary option works the same way
as when all walls are in the main model. To avoid incorrect wall joins between the main model and secondary
options, move the wall from the main model to the design option set. See
