Design Options for Elevation interiors?

cocoloco
Expert

Hello!

First and foremost, if there is any manual for this I am happy to review.

 

I am working on "Interior elevations" where I already added all the angles views and rooms etc. I realized for some rooms that it would be better to have a second option to compare. It would be *perfect* & *enough* for me if I can just copy paste the page with certain elevation as an option, but I know there is "workaround" such as "design options" so ok. 😄 

 

However I can't figure out how to use the design options... Just for ONE elevation? Do I need to create the option in floor plan and then make new interior elevation or how do I add the Design option into the interior elevations as option B/c etc.? 

 

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon 14.5 Sonoma

MacBook Pro, Sonoma: 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, Intel 16GB mem,

It all depends on how you create your elevation.

If it is generated from the 3D model, then you need to create alternative models in each design option.

If you are drawing the detail of the elevation with lines and fills in the elevation, then you place these lines and fills in the different design options.

 

Either way you will set up the same Design Options, DO sets and DO combiations, and save a new elevation view - one view for each design option.
