Solving and Updating an Option Configuration

Option System + Master Sets

After selecting the option groups to be solved and the drawings to be created from them, you can start solving an option configuration. If the option configuration contains several option groups with several options to be solved, solving them may take some time. You can leave the program to solve the option groups overnight, for example.

  1. Select Options | Master Set Solve And Update. You will be prompted: "Solve and update master set drawings?"
  2. Do either of the following:
    • Select Yes. The program solves the options and creates the selected drawings. The program creates a subfolder in the project's MS folder according to the name of the option group. The drawings and material database will be saved in this folder. The solved model remains active.
    • Select No, if you want to cancel starting the solving.

After the drawings have been created, you can add them to the master sets.

Note

  • If the drawings of an option group already exist and the building model has not been changed since the last solving, new solving is not performed.
  • View-specific drawing settings of elevation drawings are taken into consideration in option solving, when the keyword USE_VIEW_SETTINGS is enabled in the Automatic Execution database (d_OPTEXEC).
  • You can restore the option model with the function Options | Solve | Restore.
  • Any error messages during solving will be directed to the ../user/ERRLOG file.
