Revit how to show two different floor plans options. In this case you should model two separate walls. But when you open the floor plan you can t see the windows.

For each option set that you create ie for each distinct area of your scheme that you consider options for revit requires that you have a favourite or primary option.

If you want to show 1st floor plan and 2nd floor plan with 2 options then you need to duplicate 1st floor twice and 2nd floor twice. In the new plan we add the new exterior finish that display as white over the existing grey wall. In the design options dialog under option set click new.
