Design Options feature helps you manage constantly changing designs and switch among alternatives.
Create design variations and easily switch among them – whether they include the whole building, just parts of it, or multiple parts at the same.
•Choose the best and most efficient design alternatives, in 3D or any 2D view – without having the different options intersecting each other
•Study designs in the context of their surroundings and evaluate them for aesthetics, performance, efficiency
•Design Options are a view-based setting: document your options via any 2D or 3D output
•Finalize Options by integrating a selected Option into the main model, or adapt Options along the lifecycle of a Project by merging, duplicating, or rearranging Options, or moving Options between Option sets.
Filter and extract BIM data according to different Options: create Option-based Graphic Overrides, and extract data via Schedules and Labels
Options are widely integrated into all 2D and 3D elements, including Annotation and Markers such as Sections, Elevations, Details and Worksheets.
