I have a project that has 4 new different phases. Information is placed under the correct phase, such as Phase1 and Phase 2. I am trying to create a plan that shows all 4 phases and existing walls greyed out. I have the existing walls set to an Existing phase. I also have the Existing phase set to grey in the Phasing Graphic Overrides. Currently the only way to show all 4 phases and the existing information is to place the plan on the Show Complete phase filter. Doing this all the information is black line, instead of the new phases black line and the existing as grey line.

Hmm.
Not possible to set particular graphic overrides for an individual phases. Phases are only broken into existing, new, temporary, demolished.
In your case to have only the first existing phase to display as grey and all others set to normal display you would need to be able to set individual graphic overrides. As revit currently classes all these phases as existing...
I'd suggest creating multiple plans for each progressive phase. Plan for phase 1, plan for phase 2 with Phase 1 grey, plan for phase 3 with 1 & 2 grey, and plan for phase 4 with 1, 2, & 3 grey...
HTH.

I don't understand the logic of allowing us to create new phases with arbitrary names when you cannot control them with custom phase filters, since phase filters are limited to the stock phases: existing, new, temporary, demolished.
Nevertheless, even though you can only suppress display of user-defined phases by setting the view phase filter to None, they are are still somewhat useful.
My particular use is using a phase to selectively suppress the display of masses used for creating roofs and walls by face, while still displaying other masses for other purposes.
I just wish we had full control over user-defined phases.

I have a related question. We have a project where we're putting out a construction set for the shell of the building, but want to show what would essentially be Phase 2, hatched in - showing what is proposed for the fit-out. Is there any way to show future phases?

Same here I have a new work plan and want to show the future phase grayed out. I guess you could always just put the future phase under existing, but when you go to show the future work as new it will be a pain in the butt.

I just got into this late. You can not look into the future. You can stand in what would be considered a New Phase and see past phases. To get future to look gray I would set up a phase filter call it "future" or what ever. Adjust the graphic overrides to Demo-not display, New-Override, Exisitng-By Catigory,Temporary-Not Display. For the New Override make it gray. That will give you the look you need. As far as the previous questions. There are other tools to do what you want. Don't try to change the way the software works. I would use filters and graphic overrides. Or worksets. Or a combination of both.

Ok. My project has 2 project phases in use. Core & Shell and Tenant Finish. I want the Core & Shell to show the future work of Tenant Finish in halftone like I mentioned before. I created a new Phase Filter under Phasing called "Future" and matched the New-Overridden, Existing-By category... etc. I still can't get my Core & Shell to display the future stuff halftone though. What am I missing? How do I set the Visibility Graphics to see the Tenant Finish items in halftone?

Hi, I can't get correct room names and numbers to show up in a final/complete view. This is a little hard to explain: We have created rooms and room tags by Phase. Then, in order to have one floor plan with all the rooms in it, we created FLOOR PLAN 2: complete. Room tags and Rooms from each previous phase were copied into this view. Now almost all the room numbers in the Complete view have changed. It seems like revit is automatically "resolving" what it considers duplicate rooms. For example, Treatment Room 2-360 in phase 3 was copied to the complete view. Now the same room in the Complete phase has a different (incorrect) number... 2-506. the other problem: The room schedule will only show one phase at a time.

You can have multiple schedules that are stacked one above the other on the sheet and it will appear as one schedule - sorted by phases. Just turn off the headers for the lower schedules. I'm not sure I uderstand what you did with you plans....

This seems like something for the wishlist. Most companies will struggle with this. If a room (Toilet Room) is created in Phase 1, why shouldn't it exist in Phase 2.....unless it is changed in some way. For some reason it does not.

If you copyclip rooms from a previous phase to a new phase (ie existing toilet room), use Paste>SAME PLACE to avoid creating a new room/number. Do not use Paste>Current View or Paste>Aligned....you will be creating new instances. It still would be nice if the room stayed there until demolished.

Would anyone have experience changing the phasing?
I set up the model for phases 1 - 4.
Worked great.
Now the phases have ebcome opposite, 1 is now 4, etc.
Any thoughts other than selecting the elements and changing them individually?
