NOTE If you intend to continue with the final exercise, you need this file in its current state. You can
leave it open and proceed immediately to the next exercise.
In this exercise, you designed each of the roofing options. The first option, a Louver system, was constructed
of 50 mm x 250 mm rafters and 50 mm x 150 mm louvers. The second roofing system, Sunscreen, was a
simple fabric roof created using an extrusion. Both of these options are designed to work in conjunction
with each of the structural design options.
Managing Design Options
In this exercise, you explore how to present each of the design options by creating multiple views to display
the various combinations. After exploring the combinations, you select a design, make it part of the building
model, and delete the discarded design options.
This exercise is designed to work in conjunction with the other exercises in this tutorial. All are sequential
and dependent on the previous exercise. If you have not completed the previous exercises in this tutorial,
do so now.
Create new views for each design option
1 In the Project Browser, under Views (all), expand 3D Views.
Because the client wants to see 3D building models of each of the designs, you must create a
named 3D view for the primary, secondary, tertiary, and last options.
2 In the Project Browser, under Views (all), under 3D Views, right-click {3D}, and click Rename.
3 In the Rename View dialog, enter Primary Option, and click OK.
4 In the Project Browser, right-click the 3D View Primary Option, and click Duplicate. Repeat this
step two more times until you have three copies of the view.
