    12.2 PROJECT PHASING

    For this section consider that an elementary school will design an addition to accommodate an increased number of student enrollment. Revit can classify parts of the elementary school renovation project in phases such as New, Existing, Demolished, or Temporary.

    New Construction consists of all elements that are added to the school such as a new foundation, walls, floors, windows, and more.

    Existing Construction consists of all elements from the original building footprint.

    Demolishing Construction classifies anything that will be taken away from the project, such as the exterior wall torn down for the new construction to attach to.

    Temporary Construction consists of all elements used during the construction such as fences, scaffolding or braces.

    Create a Phase

    1. Click the Manage tab
    2. Under the Phasing Panel, click the Phases icon Phases.jpg
    3. In the Phasing window select, the number to the left of the option Existing
    4. Then select the After button on the right

      TIP

      Phases cannot be reorganized once added, so aware of if the Before or After option should be chosen
    5. Click the Name Phase 1 and rename it Demolish, see Figure 12.7

    6. Click on the Phase Filters tab at the top of the Phasing window
    7. Click the New button along the bottom
