I'm running Revit 2009. Is it possible to filter a view to show two phases in one viewport?

For example, my file contains 8 phases. I would like to show phases 1&3 in one viewport. Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks

Technically, Yes, but not a good idea.  I

f you created a project parameter for the phase you could then create a filter to be able to control each individual phase independently.  (unfortunately the Phase Created and Phase Demolished fields are not accessible in filters, otherwise this would be a perfect solution).  I wouldn't recommend this as it adds manual co-ordination in having to ensure your "Phase" project parameter matches the actual "Phase Created" value...  You could do this using the API to ensure its always accurate, but I'm not sure of you API skills...

But, you could just overlay the two views on a sheet.  They will appear as if its only one view but technically its still 2.  (draw order can become an issue with this method)
