I've created a shaft opening in phase "New Construction". No matter what I do the shaft is also visible in the existing phase. Is this normal or am I doing something stupid?

You might have a problem with this because a shaft cuts the floor. I think you would be better to have a seperate floor sketched in this opening and demo it in the other phase.

Good idea. I employed another low-tech solution: I turned off floor surface patters and then made the shaft opening lines invisible with linework. Good enough for now.
The shaft opening SHOULF work like a door such that the floor is intact in the existing view, shows the opening cut dashed in a demo view and as a void in the new construction view. Similarly, if you were to delete a shaft it should show the extents dashed in the demo view and show a new floor infill in the new construction view.
Sadly, this is not the case...

The problem of creating a new floor sketch for the new phase is that it will be an entire floor created in next phase and so if I use the graphic filters for the different phases the floor will display as NEW instead of a small piece that is no more there...
What I did when I started thinking about this problem is that I made an opening in the actual floor, I made another one floor that fills the opening and I joined them - so in exi phase there is no difference and in the next phase I simply demolished this part of floor. Better than the phase not-sensitive shaft.

The attached famility will add an opening to a surface and it can be phased. It also adds an 'X' to the view. If you don't like the X, edit the family to remove it. X & Y are instances. Z is a type parameter.
It's not as cool as a shaft. In order to link to other floors, turn on underlay, align and lock the edges. A lot of work, but a workable workaround.

I use model-in-place voids. After you create the extrusion, select and cut any surface you want with a single void. Ceilings, floors, and walls should be easy. Sometimes, the void opening cannot be edited. If this happens. Delete and redraw the void cut.
This phases.
I find it very useful for compelx residential roofs and multi-story buildings.
Any better ideas out there?

Some Model-In-Place components can be phased this way, some apparently can't. Modeling-in-Place as a void stair component worked for me - it was a stair opening I was cutting, so that made as much sense as any. Way easier to work with than shafts, too, in terms of selection and adjusting.

It is really easy just to edit the floor sketch and create the hole.
