Design Options And Phasing In Revit Architecture
Architectural projects often require alternate design proposals for either a client presentation or for value engineering. The Revit Architecture Design Options feature gives you a flexible way to create, manage, and present your design proposals. In this session, we'll explore Option Sets and Options for presenting various proposals to your client, zoning board, or other stakeholder. Each option behaves independently from the others, fully managing both the graphics and the quantities reported on schedules.
Creating design schemes with traditional design tools would typically require that multiple copies of each drawing or model be created and maintained. With the Design Options feature in Revit Architecture, you can maintain a single model that contains one or more schemes within it. With this methodology, you can explore and present multiple design possibilities while avoiding much of the repetition and duplication of traditional procedures. Furthermore, Revit's fully coordinated building information model is maintained and updated on-the-fly accurately representing each scheme as various Design Options are made current.
The default Revit templates do not contain any Design Option Sets or Options. Therefore, at the point in a project when you decide you wish to consider a design variation or create and present more than one design scheme, you enable the Design Options toolset by adding one or more Option Sets and Options to your project. You can find the Design Options features on the Tools menu or the Design Options toolbar. This toolbar is not loaded by default, but you can load it by right-clicking on other toolbars in the Revit interface.
