Design options in your model can affect performance.
When you use design options, keep the following best practices in mind:
- Limit the use of rooms in design options because additional time is required to detect room option conflicts.
- Use separate models for variations of entire building wings.
- Preserve design options only as long as they are useful to the project. Even though options may not be active and visible, when changes are made within the main model, all design options will update.
- Consider whether options should be preserved long term in separate models, which can be linked as needed.
