i want to create several roof options for a house. i know you can do that through design options but have been unable to find a tutorial or any explanation as to how to use this feature. i've been able to set up the different options, but need to know how to change the option my existing roof is associated with. then i'm assuming i can start to draw the other roofs within their associated option. help?

The 2009 tutorials have a section on design options. In fact the example is
different roof/trellis options for a design.

http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=5810048&linkID=9243097

Chapter 21, pg. 745 is where the section on design options begins.

To move an object from one option to another you can use cut and paste. The
option instance parameter is not somehting you can directly change. It is
established when/where the object is instantiated.

If you have access to 2009 AU online there is a great class that covers design options and phasing. The number is:

AB304-4_Revit Phasing and Options

Good luck.

Do you want to 'activate' a Design Option that a particular element resides
in, or are you trying to add an element to a design option(s)?
