In many cases of design, you come to a point where you need to consider options. What shape should the stair be, which entrance side is better, what is the best furniture layout? 

The best answer to this issue, is creating design options in Revit. This feature lets you keep using the same file, explore different layouts, create different views to share with others, and ,at the end, approve the best option when you want to.

Begin by doing the following:

You're now ready to change your model elements by selecting the desired option from the lower right tab. Once you're done, you can switch back to 'Main Model' for printing your changes.

On the next week's TIP, I will show you how to create separate views and sheets to print both options and what you should do when you want to accept one option and discard the others. Share this free tutorial with the community, and don't forget to comment below if you have any questions.
