Adding Design Options
A design option is one possible solution for a particular design issue. Each design option set contains one
primary option and one or more secondary options. When you create a set, Revit Architecture also creates
a primary option, which you must edit to add its elements. (See
Editing a Design Option on page 1311.) Use
the following procedure to add secondary design options.
To add a design option
1 Click Manage tab
➤
Design Options panel
➤
Design Options.
2 In the Design Options dialog, in the left-hand list, select the design option set to which you
want to add an option.
3 Under Option, click New.
The default option name displays under the option set.
4 To rename the option, select the option name, and under Option, click Rename. Enter a name,
and click OK.
5 If you want this design option to be the primary option for the design set, click Make Primary.
The Make Primary button promotes a secondary option to the primary option. The former
primary option becomes a secondary option.
NOTE Use caution with Make Primary, because references from the main model to the former primary
option can be lost. After using Make Primary, check dimension references and tags to be sure they
are referencing the correct elements. See
Referencing Elements in Design Options on page 1321.
