I need to demolish some existing walls, windows and doors for one design option and different walls etc in another.

Is it possible to toggle existing phase elements for different  design options? This is also difficult, when part of existing roof, wall to be demolished and displayed differently in design options

cheers

I'm not sure I'm grasping exactly what you are asking, but I'm goign to take a stab at it.  You can toggle phase elements in Design Options, you can even change the phased elements within the design options.  The trick, unfortunately, to demolishing and changin part of a roof or wall when dealing with phases is to actually create 2 roofs (for instance); one that is goign to be demolished and one that is not, and then getting those 2 roofs to look correct in the Existing Phase view.  Same applies to walls.  I do this a lot with Basement Renovations and have become used to having an existing phase view and a new construction/completed phase view open side by side and splitting and joining walls quite a bit before achieveing the effect I want.

If I have completely missed what you are asking, please don't be afraid to ask again, maybe some screen shots would help also.  Also, please let us know which version you are using.

HTH!

thank you so much for answering

you answered my question - exactly what i needed to know, i just thought they would think of something better than splitting walls, roofs and double the elements

i'am using Revit 2008 and i only use Revit for few months, was on Cad all my life and found Revit fascinating

thanks for this forum

You have to think about exactly what you would do in real life during the demolition and construction while you are using Revit.  During demolition, you would literally be splitting the wall and demoliting the section you don't need.  Unfortunately, you can not split roofs so you have to create 2 seperate roofs.

HTH, and welcome to Revit!
