I think you have the talent to teach revit very precise and fast!!! Way much better than other youtubers. Thanks a lot!

"Accept primary" command was the curicial point to teach. Other videos that i have seen so far didnt tell that. Thanks for that! Great video.

This video was much more clear than others I watched. Good job!

This tutorial is perfect. Other tutorials don't really explain properly about applying the preferred option or the whole selection process. I am a recent subscriber and I am finding these invaluable. Thanks so much. 👍

nice tutorial thanks... ^^... btw how do you that white themed 3D model view? ^^

[brennangraves]

Will this technique work for varying wall heights as the options to be changed?

[TheCuriousOrbs]

Niall. Have you done any tutorials since this was put out that expands on this topic? For example, what other criteria (dimensional etc) can be covered in design options?

[carlheintz]

Thanks. Btw, I am working with design options now and I understand it is useful to show the highlighted pieces for the options but I would like that the main model is not greyed out. Do you know how I make so that they the main model looks the same regardless if I have an option A or B put?

is it possible to plot all design options in a single sheet---like a massing diagram for example?

[maxipaxi]

Who does it work with groups? because i have alot of repeation in the facade design wall and windows. My workflow is "i am lazy". So as minimal for maximal. Its seems with groups is not working. This could be handy for renovation projects.

Could you explain in what scenario you might need a second "Option Set"? Thanks again.
