Chapter 21 Project Phasing; Project Phases Overview - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

Project Phasing
Many projects, such as renovations, proceed in phases, each representing a distinct time period in the life of the project.
Revit Architecture tracks the phase in which views or elements are created or demolished, and lets you apply phase-specific
filters to views so that you can define how the project appears during various stages of work. You can also use phase filters
to control the flow of building model information into views and schedules. This allows you to create phase-specific
project documentation, complete with schedules.

Project Phases Overview

You can create as many phases as necessary and assign building model elements to specific phases. You can
also make multiple copies of a view and apply different phases and phase filters to the different copies.
Phase Properties for Views
Each view in Revit Architecture has a Phase property and a Phase Filter property.
The Phase property is the name of the view phase. When a view is opened or created, it automatically
has a Phase value. You can copy a view and then choose a different phase value for that view. For example,
the original view has Phase 1; the copy has Phase 2. You create an element in Phase 1 and demolish it
in Phase 2. The element appears as new in the original and as demolished in the copy. (See
Phases on page 1264.)
The Phase Filter property lets you control the display of elements in a view. For example, demolished
walls may display in blue dashed lines, while existing elements display in solid black lines. You can apply
a phase filter to a view to see elements from one or more specified phases. (See
Phase Properties for Elements
Each element that you add to a project has a Phase Created property and a Phase Demolished property.
The Phase Created property identifies the phase in which the element was added to the building model.
The default value for this property is the same as the Phase value for the current view. You can specify
a different value as needed.
