design option An alternative design for a project. Design options allow a team to develop, evaluate, and
redesign building components within a single project file. You can develop design options to adapt to
changes in product scope, to review other designs, or to show alternatives to a client.
For more information, see Design Options on page 1305.
detail component A 2D element that you can add to a detail view or a drafting view. For example, you may
