Duplicate a Design Option

You can duplicate and modify a design option to streamline the process of developing multiple design options.

Suppose you are creating a series of design options, and several elements will be common to many of them. In this case, you can create a design option that contains all of the common elements, then create copies of it, and modify the individual design options to develop each design further.

To duplicate a design option

1. Create the design option and add the elements that will be common to multiple design options.

   See Add One or More Secondary Design Options.

2. Click Manage tabDesign Options panel (Design Options).
3. In the Design Options dialog, select the design option from the list.
4. Under Option, click Duplicate.

   Revit creates a copy of the selected design option named Copy of <design option>.

5. To rename the duplicate design option, select the option name, and under Option, click Rename. Enter a name, and click OK.
6. If needed, repeat steps 4 and 5 to create more copies of the design option.
