When I first tested the design options, I originally poo-pooed the idea. I'm one of those creatives, that nails the design first time every time!! I know!
So, a year later when I worked out I could use it for other purposes, like mass templating of site parcels and landscaping, electrical, specifications and everything else. I have to say, I'm sorrr
Since you're still in active development like I am writing my apology, please add these amazing wishes!
1. Accept and Merge to be added to the Design Option Palette
- You have no idea how annoying it is to open the Design Option Manager for this one option. (Leave the Design Option Manager for the combination views)
2. Merge only option
- Don't delete other merged items in a subset. I'm creating many subsets with only one item because I might need that option in the future.
3. Design Options work on Layouts
- Detail & Note changes per facade, You know, you cant duplicate markers. and have them setup differently. How about 2 different floor plans have 2 different joinery elevation locations. Now you have to move the elevations for each design change, so what I do is create 2 elevation sets. So The layouts should also change the placed elevation views to the correct set.
4. Allowing Grasshopper or Parameter expressions, or something else externally to pre-select and merge design options
- Because I should be able to select options before I open the job. It's the future after all
5. (Bonus) Sub-Subsets, folders in folders!
- Like Favorites and other stuff
