Moving Elements from One Design Option to Another
NOTE You can also use this technique to move an element from the main model to a design option, as an
alternative to the method described in Moving Elements from the Main Model to a Design Option Set on page
1313.

Selecting Elements in Design Options and the Main Model
To avoid unintended results or confusion, when you are editing a design option, Revit Architecture prevents
you from selecting elements in the main model. Similarly, when you are editing the main model, the software
prevents you from selecting elements in a design option. However, you can explicitly allow these functions,
if needed (for example, to add dimensions between a main model element and a design option element).
To select elements in design options when editing the main model
■ On the status bar, clear Exclude Options. Now you can select the desired elements from the design option.
This option is available when you are viewing the main model and a design option but not editing the
design option.
To select elements in the main model when editing a design option
■ On the status bar, clear Active Only. Now you can select elements in the main model and other option
sets.
This option is available when you are editing a design option .
