In this video, I'd like to alter the elements that reside in different option sets we have chosen.
00:09
So let's get into Revit, and see how that's done.
00:14
As before, in the recent files, we click on the architectural model.
00:20
It is a central model and we'll be creating a local copy of that.
00:25
And we want to overwrite the existing local copy.
00:31
Revit starts up in that starting view that we had configured earlier.
00:36
So let's pan around.
00:41
And I want to work on the building front option set.
00:48
So in my drop down here, I select "Fancy Sign".
00:54
And now you notice that everything else is grayed out except for the elements that are in the option set.
01:01
And I can revise these.
01:04
So let's click on this "2014 Revit Dr" sign, and let's change the type.
01:16
I wanna duplicate this, and call it "27-inch free style".
01:24
And for the font, on the drop down list, pick the freestyle script font.
01:33
The text size can remain 2 ft 3. Click "OK".
01:40
And now you see that the sign has changed.
01:44
But let's also change the text of it.
01:48
Click on the box to edit the text, and in the Edit Text Dialog box, call it "21st Century Revit Drive," and click "OK".
02:04
Hit the "Modify" button, or hit "ESC" a couple of times to clear the selection.
02:10
Now, this looks quite nice. However, I don't quite like the red.
02:13
So let's change the material.
02:16
Go back and reelect that sign, and in our properties go down to material.
02:22
Click on the browse button, and let's try glass.
02:28
Transparency is set to 75.
02:31
Let's reduce that a little bit, around 50, and click Ok.
02:40
Ok. Click the modify button or escape. Yeah, that looks nice.
02:45
Ok, let's try it out. This is my fancy sign. I'll zoom out a little bit, and this is my red sign.
02:54
Let's go back to our fancy sign, and let's also change these curtain wall windows,
03:01
hold the control key down to select the first one, and select the second one.
03:07
Again, you have to hover around a little bit until you see the blue box around the curtain walls.
03:15
You notice in my properties, it says walls too.
03:18
So I know I have the two curtain walls selected, and under my type,
03:24
let's select exterior lazing ribbon windows.
03:31
Yeah, that's quite nice.
03:34
Ok, let's go back to our main model.
03:40
You notice in my main model, it reverts back to the red sign because the red sign is the primary.
03:51
Let's pan up to the garden roof, and let's set our design options to blue roof.
04:02
Select the roof,
04:05
and we're going to change our type from garden roof to the one that we made previously garden roof blue.
04:15
Escape a couple of times. Yeah, looks interesting.
04:21
Ok. We assigned the blue roof to the blue roof, and let's go to no roof.
04:28
And my drop down, I select the no roof design option.
04:34
Here, I simply select the roof hit the delete, delete key, hover until the wallet is selected.
04:43
Tap the tab key. So the chain of walls is selected, click it.
04:49
In my filter, I see four which are my four walls, and delete as well.
04:58
OK. This is for the no roof.
05:04
This is my blue roof, and this is my red roof, which is the primary.
05:13
Now, what I want to do is change the primary design options.
05:19
So I go back to my design options. I like the blue roof the best.
05:24
So I'm going to select blue roof under garden roof.
05:27
Oh, I'm still in the design options.
05:30
So I'm gonna click on finish editing, and now I can change my blue roof to make that the primary.
05:38
We see it appear in my main model.
05:41
And I also want to make my fancy sign the primary, I get the same error message that I got before,
05:49
that the walls don't quite join up because it's a wall from a design option, joining up with a wall from a main model.
05:56
For now, we can ignore that.
05:59
So I close out of my design options, and I'm going to close out of my warnings.
06:05
Ok. We've set our design options.
06:08
Now, the next thing is to find a proper way how we can present these different design options to our clients.

So I go back to my design options. I like the blue roof the best.
05:24
So I'm going to select blue roof under garden roof.

Oh, I'm still in the design options.

Now that you have added elements to your options, you will alter the elements in the different option sets.
To revise the elements in design options, follow these steps:
