I am working on a renovation project and will be in charge of setting up the Revit file.  The intent is to have an Existing & Demo plan - showing existing walls as solid and demo as dashed.  As well as a New Construction plan - showing existing walls (minus demo walls) as grayed out with New walls solid hatched in. 

I need some feedback as to how the phasing should be set up - whether to set up 2 phases; 1. Existing & Demo, 2. New Construction. Or set up 3 phases: 1. Existing, 2. Demo, 3. New Construction.

I have marked up an attachement below.  Can someone take a look and let me know?

Greatly appreciated!

@ WWHub - Can you confirm:

So you only had 2 phases? 1. Existing & 2. New construction?

And you demo'd on existing?

 

Thank you.

Yes we have a Demolition Plan View, Existing Plan View, New Construction Plan View so our demo is shown on our Demolition Plan View but is on the New Construction Phase with the Show Previous + Demo Phase Filter

Demolition is considered "new construction".  Control the view settings with the phase filters.

I have had trouble getting artifacts of patched windows as solid lines in elevation and 3D views using only 2 phases, existing and new construction. (those artifact show up in the attached image).

When you add a third phase (demoltion - between exiting and new construction), as you have shown in your initial post, the line artifacts at over lapping and patched windows can be avoided.

I use phase filters all the time, but I have never created my own so it is possible that the need for a 'demo' phase can be eliminated by the right kind of custom phase filter.

You might consider completely modeling the existing building and saving it under another name before starting to model demolition and new construction.

There are really no hard rules here. 

 

Typically we never show demolished on new floor plans because that is a construction phase that typically starts first and is finished before you start new.  So we show demolished on demo plans with existing. < Phase filter set to show Previous and Demolished.  Then our planas are existing to remain and new.  < Phase filter set to show complete

"

I agree!

 

 

Existing: Show All - Existing

New Construction: Show Previous + New - New Construction

Demolished: Show Complete - New Construction

 

"There are really no hard rules here. 

... that is a construction phase that typically starts first and is finished before you start new." - Correct, Here in Portugal we have "hard" rules for that, they want 3 plan views (elevations and sections also...) in the order I posted above.

I'm leaning to having just 2 phases; 1. Existing & Demo, 2. New Construction. That way I don't need to keep track or make a third view for every Demo plan if I were to have 3 phases.  The only concern is I don't want to run into graphic problems mentioned by Polar.

WWHub: did run into similar issues expressed by  Polar ? Or were you able to troubleshoot by modifying the phase filters/graphic overrides?

We don't have any problems but we don't really have a 'Revit' demo phase, just existing and new.  It is existing elements that are demolished but they are demolished in new construction phase.  Our phase filter graphic settings set how to show demolished as well as existing and new for our two document conditions plus a couple of others conditions we sometimes use while working.
