Optional Objects
If you want to change the number of openings or other components
on the floor plan, or if you want to change the wall type of walls,
you don’t have to define a new elevation option for each case. With
the option data editing tool, you can optionalize following
objects:
- Openings and opening trims
- Wall type of walls
- Macro assemblies
- Profiles
- Details
- Basic geometric elements like texts and lines
You can define following conditions for the selected object:
- The object will be added when the option conditions come
true.
- The object will be moved to another location when the option
conditions come true.
- The object will be deleted when the option conditions come
true.
- The alternative wall type will be used when the option
conditions come true.
- The alternative opening trims will be used when the option
conditions come true.
Define the optionalized objects as follows:
- Select
Option System > 
Edit
Option Data.
- Select the object and then select the option conditions in a
dialog box.
Note
- Before you can select macros, you must first
create a macro assembly of them, see Building a Macro
Assembly.
- You can only select one object at a time. Select the option
conditions for all the desired objects one by one. You can later
change the conditions with the same Edit Option Data
tool.
- The optional objects will be added or removed when you solve
the options.
- The selected object can be placed any where in the floor plan.
It is not necessary for the object to be associated to any of the
option boxes in the floor plan.
- You can add a note telling which option condition is associated
to an object in the floor plan drawing, see Showing the Option Condition
Connected with an Object.
