Dialog Box Options

Option condition
Select the options to which the option design in the option box on the floor plan applies. Do either of the following:
  • Get the label of a single option from the Options database by clicking Select. The Project Options database view opens. Move the cursor on the desired row and click the OK button. Select a logical operator and then another option label by clicking Select.

    The Project Options Database View

  • Get several option labels at once from the Options database by clicking Multi. Click the labels in the list while holding down the Ctrl key. The dame logical operator will be added between all labels.
You can use three operators to define conditions for the components in the option box:
  • And - For example A and B. The option design in the option box will only apply if both options A and B are selected when you solve the options.
  • Or - For example A or B. The option design in the option box will only apply if option A or option B is selected when you solve the options.
  • Not - For example A and not B. Note the syntax “and not”. The option design in the option box will only apply if option A is selected and option B is not selected when you solve the options.
The logical operations are performed in the following order: first the Not operation, then the And operations and finally the Or operations.
Example of Using Logical Operators
Option information
Type descriptions of the option and conditions in the text fields.
When you are editing the option conditions with the Edit Option Data tool, you can also type a number for the option box in the Option number field. The number is usually defined for the option fence around the option boxes. This number is used when renumbering the options on the floor plan. Please note! This number is not associated with the option number defined in the Options database.
Merge during solving process
The elements you have cut before designing the options will be merged during the option solving process when you select the appropriate check boxes. By default, all check boxes (Walls, Floors, ceilings and roofs and Rooms) are selected.
Hide all components in option
When you select the Hide all components in option check box the system will hide the 2D/3D geometry of the options and improve the speed of the system.
Copy suboptions
The property is available when you are copying an option. If the option has sub options, the sub options are also copied. If the property is not selected, only the main option is copied.
