What are Phases?

• Phases are separate time periods within the life of the project

• They can represent either the time periods themselves or the status of the project at specified points in time

• By default a new Revit project comes with 2 phases already cretaed: Existing and New Construction

When to use Phases?

• Existing building you are refurbishing (or extending). Consequently you need to show the building Before and After the refurbishment take place

• Show a development that is to be delivered in phases. Consequently you need a sequence of drawings to represent the project at every distinct phase

• Use Revit to forecast expenditure over the life of the project

How Revit handle Phases?

1. Defining your Phases
2. Setting your Views to show the appropriate Phase
3. Setting the Phase Attributes for each element / component

Defining Phases

• By default, there are 2 phases: Existing, New Construction. You can Rename the New Construction to Proposed

• There is a definite order to Phases

• The 1st phase is always at the top of the list

Setting the Views - Phase

• Create a separate View for the Existing and Proposed phases

• It is important to set up Before you start adding model elements

• If elements add within the Proposed View, these elements have their phase parameter set to Proposed by default
