Phase Created Identifies the phase in which the point cloud file was added to the building model. The default value for this property is the same as the Phase value for the current view. You can specify a different value as needed.
Phase Demolished

Identifies the phase in which the point cloud file was demolished. The default value is None.

When you demolish an element, this property updates to the current phase of the view in which you demolished the element. You can also demolish an element by setting the Phase Demolished property to a different value. See Demolishing Elements.
