Design Options Newbie needs help

[svpribyl]

I have been watching videos and reading the help file, but I haven't found really basic instructions on getting started. Please help me.

For the sake of discussion, I have shown three options for an ADU. The top one has the site information at this point. Version 2 and 3 are shown below them on the page. I realize the version 2 and 3 walls and design would need to coincide with the top site. How do I proceed from here? I am thinking that I create a couple of new Design Option Sets and then assign the walls in the middle design to Option 2 and the walls in the lower design to Option 3. How do I actually go about assigning them? Do I select the elements that I want to be in Option 2 and them click on Option 2?  Is it done in the Design Options palette, and not the Design Options Manager? Any help that you can provide would be appreciated. 

 

Operating system used: Mac Intel-based 13.6 Ventura

After much consternation and fooling around, I believe I have learned the basics. I wish the instruction provided by Graphisoft were easier to follow, especially for a new feature.

Here is the link just incase you haven’t seen it yet ?
