About Revit Design Options
Design options in Revit allow team members to work on specific alternatives—such as lobby modifications—while others continue developing the main model.
The complexity of design options can vary significantly. For instance, designers might explore alternative entrance designs or different structural systems for roofs. As the project advances, the use of centralized design options increases, and these options generally become simpler. Common applications include:
- Exploring various entrance designs
- Testing different room or furniture layouts
- Trying out multiple window configurations
- Creating backup solutions for sustainable design
Throughout the project, design options can be used to investigate multiple design solutions. At any point in the design process, several sets of design options can coexist. Typically, each option set addresses a specific problem or area. For example, to explore arrangements for pergolas and canopies on rooftop terraces, you might create an option set named “Roofing,” which includes several roof designs, such as shading systems or skylights.
Similarly, you could create a file called “Roof Structure,” containing multiple structural design schemes like brackets or beams. Once the final design is selected, the chosen options can be merged into the main model, and any unused options can be removed.
