Superb every tutorial of yours are game changer. The way you make it look easier and time saving. I appreciate you sir I almost gave up but you brought me back ready to learn from you and I will be a good student I promise.

When you split the bench you basically created new slabs and because the main option was set as default (pen icon) they became part of the main model. To prevent this from happening, make sure to select the duplicated option as default right after creating it.
Great content btw!

Great video covering the new design option tool

As someone looking to transition from Revit to Archicad, your tutorials are phenomenal for real-world applications. Design options appear to be a lot better in ArchiCad than in Revit. However, I believe the renovator tool still needs work. In Revit, you can create different phases (i.e. Existing, Stage 1 Works, Stage 2, etc.). Archicad does not appear to have this ability from what I have found, but after watching this video, it looks like design options might be a viable way of showing this.

I also noticed your UI is back to default with this video, but in the past, you have had your tools up on the top and properties on the left. I have attempted to drag and drop my UI so it's similar to this (properties on the left). However, it doesn't appear to be a drag-and-drop option. Do you know if they have removed this ability is ArchiCad 27 or is it a further custom setting?

Thank you for the good tutorial! I havean issue that I need some guidance. I have linked balconies as a module to an archicad project and I want to attach them as let's say "Balconies option 1". The problem is that Archicad doesn't let me link modules to this option. Is it possible link them somehow?

This work could be done before from layers, there was no need for a new version of archicad 27...

[juanmejia]

Great tutorial, thank you. Question, im working on a teamwork files that includes options but my archicad 27 doesn't have the "option pallet", any suggestions?

[wheres_bears]

Do you use archicad for actual kitchen design projects and for manufacturing the design or are there other programs
You would recommend?

[warburgaby]

Ehm, thanks but... If I have a simple DOOR :) In my project, I want a design option in wich that door disappears.... HOWTO? thanks

I still don't get it. How come you manage to illustrate almost every thing under ten minutes. This is crazy don't you know that even for an hour we could stay 😀😀
