Wall cleanups in design options

[vanderloo5]

I'm using design options for the first time and having a couple minor issues. First of all does anyone know any tricks for getting butted walls to clean up in design options? (see attachment).
And, is it not possible to add detail items like detail lines and text, in option 2, and have them not show up in the Main Model?
Thanks

View specific items such as text, hatches and detail lines only show up in the view they were created. Since you copy off views to apply the option 'filter', that stuff only appears in the initial view.

As for wall joins, select the wall, then right click on the blue grip on the end of the wall, then select 'dis-allow join'. Options can be a bit fiddly for wall joins, but generally work very well.

Good luck!

You will find that elements in a secondary design option do not like to clean up with main model elements at variable intersections... that is intersections that are different in different design options. An intersection is not an element that can be added to a design option, but the walls that make up an intersection are. When choosing what walls to add to both design options I always chase walls back to an intersection that is not variable and end the cascading addition of redundant walls and hosted elements to both design options there... it usually does the trick.
