    Default Moving a Design Option into the Main Model

    Hey guys,

    I'm trying to get one of my design options (exterior walls of a building) to be in the main model so I don't have to switch to it when I want to edit the walls.
    I went to
    - DESIGN OPTIONS - clicked on the design option I want - clicked on MAKE PRIMARY
    but I got a lot of warnings...

    I hit cancel because I don't want to deal with all those warnings!
    Does anyone know a better/easier way to do this?

    My plan B is to just copy the walls from the design option and paste them into the main model....Thoughts?

    Thank you!

    Default Re: Moving a Design Option into the Main Model

    Accept Primary means "Abandon all the related options and dedicated views" in favor of your primary design option. The primary option WINS and the other lose. If you don't need the other option elements then that's fine. Revit will delete views that are dedicated to the other options, where V/G is assigned to show a specific option that has been abandoned.

    If you want that options elements in the main model but keep the other options then use Cut to Clipboard and then Paste Aligned Same Place after returning to the Main Model.
