An Option Set is a container that holds every iteration of a possible design feature.įor example, An Option Set entitled “Front Entrance System” could show an option with a revolving door and an option without. Select “New” under Option Set to create a new Option Set. The Main Model is anything in your project that is not going to be optional.įor example, if you are considering adding a porch to a home, the home will be the Main Model and the porch will be part of the options.

Inside, you will see that you are now editing what the Main Model. But what is the correct way to demonstrate smaller choices like an entrance configuration, an added porch, the size and shape of an addition, or a different roof? For this, you will need to learn how to use Design Options in Revit.īegin by opening the Design Options manager which is located on the Design Options panel of the Manage tab on the Ribbon. That’s fine if the options change the entire form and function of the building. They may even have multiple separate files for varying options.

You or someone you know is currently creating a separate Revit file to show a possible option for a building design.
