Make existing elements "smart" to hosting multiple design options

An existing element is an existing element and doesn't belong in a design option.

 

However, due to the parent-child nature of face-cutting and hosted elements, we must copy-paste existing elements into multiple options to represent the multiplicity of perceived change.

 

I feel like this is bad for many perspectives, but particularly scheduling (duplicate instances) and data management, so it seems like this could be made better. 

 

Additionally, if we have existing elements that are updated from new measured information while that element is instanced in multiple design options, we then have to edit it multiple times, which is excessive and creates the possibility for more error.

 

It would be better if the existing element - like an existing floor that is being cut by three different stair options for example - can be smart to all of the stair shaft design options that are cutting it by allow them to all exist in parallel to one another, despite their impossibility to manipulate the floor all at once. This would mean that the floor model element has some kind of "lookup" ability to see if it is being manipulated by elements belonging to design options, and then duplicates itself behind the scenes, only to officiate the change once the primary design option is accepted.

At least for the stair issue, if they fix the problem with shaft openings not being phaseable, that might help. http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/ability-to-phase-wall-openings-demolishing-in-new-phase/id...

Thanks for taking the time to submit your idea. Unfortunately, this idea did not get the support of the community over the last 6 months and as such we will not be pursuing it at this time. Please feel free to rework (titles and clear descriptions are really important) and resubmit this one down the road.
