Hello all,
Currently I am working on an 3D model of a standard house which we build for several of our customers.
This house has an option for an extension on the 2nd floor (see attached images).
Your first statement is your answer.
"an option"
Design Options are built for this very purpose.
Create an option set with two options within it, Base Model and Expanded Model.
Move all of the second floor components into the Expanded Model Option.
Set all views and schedules to be "Automatic" for the design option.
If you want to document the Base Model then you set that option as the "Primary".
If you want to produce documents for the Expanded Model then you set that option as the "Primary".
All views set as automatic will change to show the "Primary" Option.
If you want to document both Options create duplicate views (plans, sections, elevations, schedules, etc) and set each set of views to show only a specific Option.



Phasing is for building and/or construction phasing:
Build phase 1.
At a later time build phase 2 (at which time phase 1 is now "existing" and Phase 2 construction is "New").
