Design Options

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.
