Tyring to show different options

[Anonymous]

I'm being asked to show two options of a shell wall in model. I'm not sure
if I should create two walls and put them on different layers; or create an
entire different drawing, named option b.

The problem with the second solution is that both will get pathed through
the project navigator - which I suppose is no big deal as I can just turn
the x-ref off, or cause it not to path at the PN level.

How would you handle this situation?

you could create the two wall options in separate construct files.
then create 2 view files showing each option bringing in each file.

Now that's not a bad idea... Thanks Nathan.

You could also create another Division for the Optional items, and designate
the optional walls construct to it, then when you assemble your views, it'll
give you a little more flexibility.
