Effortlessly Create, Duplicate, and Swap Between Design Options in Skema

Since Skema is a cloud-based software it allows you to effortlessly create, duplicate, and switch between design options without having to open new files.

Transcript:

Alex here and a question I've been asked about Skema is how can I create different

design options or iterations within a project and there's a couple ways to go about it if you want

a completely new and blank site on an existing project that you have already created all you

need to do is hit the plus button to the right of proposals and you have a completely blank option

and since schema is a web-based software you can easily jump in between different created

options without without having to worry about opening or closing different files another

option I have in schema is I can duplicate an option so if I want to duplicate a mass

scene or already created element and change it a little bit to have different iterations

what I can do is select three buttons to the right of the option hit duplicate go into the

duplicated option and change as many elements as you want I'm just going to change the floor

count so it's a little different I'm going to hit save and now I can easily hop between different

iterations of similar massing on the site a pro tip and another way to use the duplicate option

other than making iterations is you can create different stopping points that you can go back

to as you develop your project for example if I want to develop my polyline building more

what I can do is select the building and bake it and baking it solidifies the massing and

it's something that you cannot undo and but what I can do is duplicate my option I can

name the option option one baked I can save that then I'll select the option I can bake

it and save it and if I ever need to go back to my original polyline massing I can easily do so.
