I have a home where I need to show three different bathroom options. I've created them and put them in there own building option so I can show which ever one I want. I have an "options" plan set page created to show all three options and was going to save them as different drawings and just drop them onto the new page. The problem is, it's still picking up whatever building option is showing on the main floor plan. Whatever option I show on the original main floor plan still shows up.  Any thoughts on why it's doing this or know of a work around? I really don't want to get into exploding and turning all three into just lines, etc.

The option you're looking for is not available in 2016 but will be in 2018.

Try printing a full set with option 1, a full set with option 2 and a full set with option 3. As Yvon points out, you can't put three separate option pages into a plan set as they stand.

It can be done in 2016, and you don't need to save them as 3 separate drawings. Just drag the same floor plan on the plan set page 3 times, check "Use Custom Visibilities" and edit each one to show only the default and the option you want to visible. Each drawing on the page edits independently of one another.

 

It sounds like the new feature in 2018 is to show separate 3d views of the different options.

Good point Keith. I stand corrected. I imagine that the 2018 option is to show different building options, not only 3D, on teh same page.
