Anyone got a fix for this? Other than "selecting all instances" and changing the phase created, again, back to existing.

A copied element takes on the phase of the view you are in when you copy it. IE if you are in a "New Construction" floor plan and copy an existing wall it will be created in new construction. If you want it to be created in existing you need to be in a view that has its phase set to existing. Or you could switch the phase of the view while you copy stuff aroud and then switch back, but you really should have seperate views for exsiting and new. HTH Nick

When I have "existing" elements, such as in a renovation, the plan showing the "new construction" always has the existing elements shown with the elements demolished under new construction dashed lined. With that type of drawing, it is impossible to keep existing and new on separate pages. Are you "copying" the existing elements onto the "new construction" page and letting them appear to be new construction? If so, how do you make their appearance different enough to not confuse the contractor about what is new and what is "existing to remain?"

Typically we either have a limit of work or we are only keeping the structure of the building. The method for showing new/ old differs between the 2. When we keep the strucure only I use a solid black hatch for new concrete and a concrete pattern for exsiting walls. When you have a limit of work you can just draw a limit line. Also elements created on previous phases should show up grayed out in future phases. HTHNick

We use a lot of 3D images in our construction documents. The graying out of the existing walls in the new construction sheet really lets them see the new versus old without having to place a lot of notes. I think Revit has selected the wrong default. If you copy something, it should also copy the "phase created" too, rather than changing the phase to the sheet phase. JMVHO.

Ive used the phasing both ways. So I could see it either way. It is something that you could always add to the wishlist. But I have a fealing that it would end up quite a bit below the biggies like text and site tools. Nick
