# TranspilationOptions

*class* `TranspilationOptions(*args, **kwargs)`

[GitHub](https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-ibm-runtime/tree/stable/0.26/qiskit_ibm_runtime/options/transpilation_options.py#L38-L75)

Transpilation options. This is only used by V1 primitives.

**Parameters**

- **skip\_transpilation** – Whether to skip transpilation. Default is False.
- **initial\_layout** – Initial position of virtual qubits on physical qubits. See `qiskit.compiler.transpile` for more information.
- **layout\_method** – Name of layout selection pass. One of ‘trivial’, ‘dense’, ‘noise\_adaptive’, ‘sabre’.
- **routing\_method** – Name of routing pass. One of ‘basic’, ‘lookahead’, ‘stochastic’, ‘sabre’, ‘none’.
- **approximation\_degree** – heuristic dial used for circuit approximation (1.0=no approximation, 0.0=maximal approximation)
