I inadvertently drew much of a recent model on the new construction phase, when it is really an existing building that will be renovated. Is there a quick way to change the entire model to the Existing phase? Thanks!

You shold be able to window in 3D and just change their properties all at once... unless some reside in non-editable worksets. If so, you can unlock the puzzle pieces one at a time ... or just open all the appropriate worksets (own) and the you should be able to change them.

The project is not broken into worksets, I am the only one in the office using revit at this time. When i select everything in the 3D view, the option to look at the properties of the elements selected is greyed out.

You inadvertently grabbed non-editable items as mentioned above. Select individual items such as a wall then select all instances, edit properties. Do it for all items. May take a minute or two. The other method is the 3D window then filter out all the non-editable items. Repeat.

Since everything in the file is technically editable what is considered a 'non-editble' item? The filter dialog in the 3D view does not have an option to 'filter out all non-editable' There should by this time be a way to take an entire model and just say the entire thing is existing.

Open your workset dialog box - there is a column called editable. Change them all to yes.

If you select items such as text, dimension you will not be able to change phase for any of the items selected. Selecting in 3d views is one way to select only the model editable components or use filter to filter out the uneditable. HTH John

Simple...Go to Settings>Phases>Select New Construction and then click on Combine with Previous. Everything Done. Later you can add your New Construction phase.

I'm going to piggyback on this older thread, since I have the same problem... I've tried to select everything in 3D mode, but I'm not given any options to change the phase with everything selected. The last comment about combining new construction with existing in the phasing dialogue seems to work, except that the graphics don't change to existing when view properties are set to "view all" (walls still hatched...nothing is "grayed out" . However, if I get properties on a wall, it shows up as being created in the existing phase. I've made sure the graphic settings in the phase dialogue were set up correctly...any other ideas on how to get this to work graphically?

Forget it...I figured it out. In case you're in this same situation, the comment about changing the phase from the phase settings works...just make sure you add your new construction phase after you combined the with existing, and you'll have to switch all your view properties to show the new construction phase (it will automatically set all views to existing phase).

What do I do if I only want to move half of the objects on my "New Construction" phase to another phase? Part of my building needs to go on a new phase, but the rest of it neerds to stay. I want to be able to select a region of the building and move everything in that region to a new phase.

Select objects, Ctrl+X for Cut, and go to New Construction Phase and Paste Aligned to Current View.
