Permanent Design Options

[ford347]

We are doing a large housing track, 4 models and each are suppose to have a different option for elevation and one simple design or layout option. Should I make a copy of the each model file when I complete the base model, then do the option in there, or is it manageable in the same file through design options? For the scheduled items that have options, I was just going to define and schedule the base item, then create a yes/no parameter or something to designate that it is an item with options and to refer to the marketing data for choices or something like that.

Has anybody developed a comfortable method in doing this?

I'd use a single model for each house & design options.

You can have a schedule for each option. You can force the schedule to an option in the view/visibliity dialog when you are in the schedule view, similar to forcing an option in any other view.

You can then duplicate the schedule, and have one for each option.

Yep, use design options.
