You can use three operators to define conditions for the components in the option box:

• And - For example A and B. The option design in the option box will only apply if both options A and B are selected when you solve the options.

• Or - For example A or B. The option design in the option box will only apply if option A or option B is selected when you solve the options.

• Not - For example A not B. The option design in the option box will only apply if option A is selected and option B is not selected when you solve the options.

Select one of the radio buttons, if necessary, and then select another option from the Options database. The logical operations are performed in the following order: first the Not operation, then the And operations and finally the Or operations.

Example of using the logical operators

Option information

Type descriptions of the option and conditions in the text fields.

When you are editing the option conditions with the Editing Option Data tool, you can also type a number for the option box in the Option number field. The number is usually defined for the option fence around the option boxes. This number is used when renumbering the options on the floor plan. Please note! This number is not associated with the option number defined in the Options database.

Merge during solving process

The elements you have cut before designing the options will be merged during the option solving process when you select the appropriate check boxes. By default, all check boxes (Walls, Floors, ceilings and roofs and Rooms) are selected.

Hide all components in option

When you select the Hide all components in option check box the system will hide the 2D/3D geometry of the options and improve the speed of the system.
