Display of Design Options in BIM 360 aggregated model

[iainsavage]

I've already searched around for an answer on this before posting but I have an MEP model with two different Design Options for different piping layouts and in the project model on BIM 360 I can't see any way of viewing the secondary option.  It always seems to be the Primary Option which displays.

Is this the way it works or am I missing a step somewhere?

@iainsavage Do you create those piping layout in Revit? Did you added them to the Publishing Settings of Revit?

You should find all views specified in the publish settings in the different viewables (2D/3D) on BIM360.

Can you give some more context (e.g. apps used on desktop and web, settings applied).

In Design Collaboration we always generate a "Master" for every Phase which cannot be modified. This will be used to show in the aggregated view. If this is your usecase, you could try to have a different Phase for the two layouts so you can look at it in the aggregated view. Unfortunatelly, the phase name has to match the one from the Main Model (see the settings).

Maybe someone else also has some input on this use case.

The model is created in Revit.

It is not two different phases.

It is two Design Options created using the Design Options feature in Revit.

When I’ve published the model it has all of my sheet views in it but there is only one 3D view (the default 3D view) which appears in the aggregated model.

In Revit this view can display either Design Option but in BIM 360 it only seems to display one (primary) Design Option.
