I'm not sure how to explain this, but here goes...

I'm using Design Options for different layouts of apartment suites. I have about 6 different options and we've finally decided which layouts to use. The problem is that not every "final" suite layout is in one Design Option - they're all over the place. If I accept one DO I'll lose all the other ones, right? I thought about cutting the final layouts from the individual DOs and then pasting them into the Main Model, but that will result in a bunch of errors until I erase all the DOs. Is there a better way to do this?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can make portions of many Design Options part of the Main Model??

I hope that makes sense.

Try making a Group out of the pieces of each deign option that need to be "joined together",
and Link out the Group as a separate Revit file.

Keep doing this, and Bind in the other "pieces" into your new Revit file.

Not sure this will work perfectly, but perhaps worth a try.......

cheers

That sounds like a good idea. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!
