Troubleshooting Issues with Design Options

The following topics provide information about issues, errors, and warnings that you may encounter when
working with design options.

Elements in Main Model Will Be Deleted

Issue: This error may occur when you attempt to promote a secondary option to be the primary option. An
element (or dimension or other object) in the main model conflicts with an object in the secondary option
that is being promoted.
Solution:
1 In the error dialog, click Expand, and then expand the error messages until you can identify the objects
that are causing the error.
2 Select the check boxes for the objects.
3 At the bottom of the error dialog, click Delete and Make Primary.
Following this procedure usually resolves the conflicts by deleting the objects and replacing them with the
same or similar objects defined in the newly promoted design option. If you continue to have problems,
contact customer support.

Highlighted Elements Overlap

Issue: This warning may occur when you copy an element from the main model to a design option. In this
case, the element exists in the main model and in the design option. As a result, these 2 elements overlap.
Solution: To resolve the issue, delete the element from the main model or from the design option.
If you tried to move an element from the main model to a design option, cut the element from the model
(instead of copying the element), or use Add to Design Option Set. See
Option to Another
1246.

Incorrect Wall Joins

Issue: Walls in the main model can join with walls in a primary option. However, main model walls cannot
join with walls in a secondary option.
Solution: If wall joins are not behaving as expected, consider whether the walls need to be moved from the
main model to one or more secondary options.

Inserts in Design Options

Issue: The following message displays: An insert in a design option cannot be hosted by an element in the
