By clicking the appropriate category in the Alternatives Setup list—Templates, Rooms, Systems, Room Assignments, Plants, System Assignments, or Economics— you can dynamically link to, or copy information from, an existing alternative. If you prefer, you can provide entirely new information. Each Alternative Setup dialog box also lets you add a brief comment about your choice. To set up an alternative: 1 Display the Project Navigator window. 2 Either click anywhere in the column representing that alternative and open the Alternatives Setup menu, or right-click the alternative to display the shortcut menu. 3 Select the appropriate category. 4 Click the desired option in the Alternative Setup dialog box: Use, Create Based On, or Create New. Explanations of each setup option follow. An example scenario accompanies each explanation to demonstrate how the option can be used to simplify modeling and analysis. Refer to online Help for more information about alternatives.
