Project Phasing

Define project phases (such as demolition and renovation) and apply phase filters to views and schedules to show the project during various stages of work.

About Phasing
Many projects, such as renovations, proceed in phases, each representing a distinct time period in the life of the project.
About Phase Filters
A phase filter is a rule that you apply to a view to control the display of elements based on their phase status: new, existing, demolished, or temporary.
About Infill Elements for Phasing
Infill elements occur when a hosted element and its host do not have the same values for Phase Created and Phase Demolished.
About Demolishing Elements
Mark elements as demolished in the current phase using the Demolish tool.
About Phase Properties
Use phase properties to assign building model elements to specific phases. You can also assign copies of views to different phases and phase filters.
Workflow: Phasing
This workflow describes a typical method of using phases and phase filters to manage a project.
Video: Phase Filters
Phase filters control element visibility to communicate information about each phase of a project.
Video: Phase Status
Phase status controls the visual representation of model elements in views.
Create a Phase
Determine the phases of work that you want to track for the project, and create a phase for each.
Combine Phases
When you combine phases, the selected phase is deleted. All elements with that phase value for their Phase Created and Phase Demolished properties update to show the new combined phase value.
Create Phase Filters
Create phase filters (in addition to the default filters) to control the display of elements based on their phase status.
Apply a Phase Filter
Apply a phase filter to a view to control the display of elements for the view based on project phases.
Define the Graphic Display for Phase Filters
Define graphic overrides as needed to change the display of elements in views that use phase filters.
Define the Graphic Display for Phase Statuses
Apply a different graphic display or override to the elements in a phase status.
Change the Structure of Infill Elements
If you demolish an insert in a phase later than the host's creation phase, you can change the structure of the infill element.
Demolish Elements
If you demolish an element in one view, it is marked as demolished in all views with the same phase.
