Test Options
Option System
Use this function to check the options to insure that they work correctly before solving the options. With this function, you can activate all options with the same name in all drawing-model pairs. The program will move the components of the selected option into place by adjusting the locating point of the option and the locating point in the floor plan. You can select several options at the same time, as long as they do not have a common locating point.
- Select Options | Option Boxes |
Test. - Select the options to be processed from the Select Options list.
- The program checks whether the objects belonging to an option has links to objects outside
the option. If links are found, the program warns about them. You can choose how to proceed
the function by selecting one of the following options:
- Yes - The checking continues going through all the objects.
- No - The checking does not continue. You will move directly to solving/activating options.
- Cancel - The checking and the entire solving/activating process is interrupted.
Note
- Before testing the options, modify all drawings that are affected by the option. In other words, if a fireplace is added as an option, the foundation plan, first floor plan, first floor framing, second floor plan, second floor framing, roof plan etc. should have an option reflecting the changes that will be made.
- The stretch and reverse building options will not be processed when you use the Test options function. These options will be processed when you solve the options.
- All the available options for the project are listed in the Select Options list. On the list, there may be options which cannot be selected at the same time, or options which must be processed at the same time. You can control the selection of options by setting option rules.
- You can activate individual options in the active drawing-model pair with the function Activate an Option.
- Once all options work correctly you can solve the options.
