Turning on design options in Revit LT
- As you're perhaps aware, Design Options is a feature that allows you to explore multiple design iterations or multiple schemes or even alternate designs within the same Revit model. So, rather than the traditional work flow that you might employ in other software packages where you do a Save As and save off multiple versions of the document and then sort of negotiate between those different saved versions as you're making decisions about which design will become predominant or when preparing alternates or whatever your purpose might be for exploring these different alternatives. In Revit, we're going to do all of those design explorations within the same model, and there's a number of reasons why we might want to do that, but the simplest reason is that it's very difficult to take two separate Revit models and somehow merge them together. So, if we're exploring scheme one and a scheme two in two completely separate models,…
