Design Options

I like that Revit supports indecision. If there are spaces in a model that could be used more than one way, design options let's the user pursue them all. For this example there is a space that could be used for a band to rehearse or as a library. First duplicate a plan view of the space by right clicking on the view in the project browser and selecting duplicate. Duplicate with detailing if you want the annotation to be duplicated as well. Do not duplicate as dependant. Rename the views so their use can be identified.
Now go to the Manage tab of the ribbon and select the Design Options tool. This will open the Design Option dialog. There, a option set can be defined with options under that set. To create a new set, click the new button under Option Set circled below in red with the number 1. Option 1 will automatically appear under this set. To rename the set and the option, highlight them on the left then select the appropriate rename button on the right. rename the set to "Mystery Room" and Option 1 to "Band Room". Create a second option by selecting the New button under Option circled below in red with the number 2. Rename that option to "Library".



With the options setup, the visibility graphics for the two views created earlier can be set to show just the desired option. A Design Options tab has been added to the Visibility Graphics dialog. In each of the two views, change the design option to match the view.

In the Manage tab of the ribbon the Design Options section now allows the user to pick what option to add components to. When Main Model is selected all objects placed will be seen in both views. When Band Room is selected, new components will only appear in the Band Room view.
Below is an image of the two views. If objects are showing up in both views, Select the objects and use the Add to Set button to deselect the view it should not be in.
