I'm trying to do a study of a building elevation where the floor to floor heights vary in different design options. Basically I want to get an idea of how different floor to floor heights affect the appearance of the openings on the elevation. The problem is that levels cannot be added to a design option so I don't know how to create multiple options with varying level heights. Any ideas on how to do this without having to save each option as a different model?

i think that you will need 2 projects. Since levels don't play nice in design options, you will run into lots of issues trying to keep it as 1 file.

I think that design options are not made for this kind of changes....

You could link both models into a third to compare them side by side.

Or even make a design option for each version and link each model into a different option. When you change options, the link will only be visible when that option is active.

But the levels themselves can't be placed in a specific option.
