Copying an option

Use this function to copy an existing option in the floor plan. When copying, the locating point of the option is maintained. This enables additional options to be created from already defined options that affect the same default option group.

In the figure below, the default option is currently activated. The eleva option has been added using the Creating a new option function and then modified by adding walls and openings. The elevb option has been created by copying and modifying the eleva option.

1. Select Option System > Copy Option.
2. Select the option box by clicking the option id in the upper left corner of the option box.  The Option Condition for Components in Option Box dialog box opens.
3. Select the option conditions in the dialog box.

   Option Condition for Components in Option Box

4. Select the location for the option box. If necessary, lock the cursor in the x or y axis direction. The cursor is locked to move through the selected locating point. Place the option box far enough away from the floor plan drawing.
5. Quit by pressing Esc.

The program adds a new option box with the option id you selected to the drawing. The box is empty, as the components of the option are to be modified on the actual building. You can now modify the components to design the option.

Note

• When you have designed the option, associate the new components to the option definition with the function Editing option components.
