Revit Tutorial - Phases (New and Existing Construction) (Revit Clinic)

Sometimes when I get an email about a specific question I like to search my follow bloggers sites for the answer before going on and making my little videos. Here is a perfect example... A post on Revit Clinic from 2 years ago that still will help today:
Time to phase…
Phases are a pretty difficult animal in Revit to wrap your head around. The reason it is difficult is that the functionality works a little differently that is expected. Architects have very specific uses for Phases while designing and working on a project. Revit doesn’t always mesh with those uses exactly.
The most common problem with phasing is that users can’t get objects to display the way they would like to in a view. This problem actually contains 5 different parts. View properties, Phases, Phase filters, Graphic Overrides, and finally the properties for a object. In order for the objects to display correctly all of these things must be setup correctly. If any one thing is not correct, the objects in the phase will not look correct. Three of these items are all controlled in the Phasing dialog box so let’s take a look at that first.

Tutorial - Wall Phasing Revision

Peter reminded me of a great way to help with the Wall Clean-up tutorial:

"Hey Jeff,

I've found its easier if:

• You draw your new wall,
• Then select it, right click on the blue grip dot
• Under the options select dis-allow wall join,
  

This meas the new wall will not try to attach with the existing middle wall. note you will get a definate line at the end of the wall on plan.

Hope this Helps

Peter"



Thanks Peter. This is what the site is all about.. Not just me giving pointers, but my readers too!

Tutorital - Phasing and Wall Clean Up

Receieved and email from Chris:

..."Jeff,

I am new to revit and now the basics, so I am hoping you can help me. I have a house that am trying to start in revit but I am running into weird problems. I have a house with existing conditions and am remodeling and adding new walls. If you look at the new construction or proposed plans, I am having an issue getting the points were the new walls and old walls join to clean up at the Reference plane I have set up. Any thoughts or am I doing something wrong? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.."
