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.
Video: Phase FiltersDefault Phase Filters
Each project contains the following default phase filters:
- None. Does not apply a phase filter to the view. The view displays all elements from all phases.
- Show All. Shows new elements (using the graphics settings defined for that category of elements) and existing, demolished, and temporary elements (using the Graphic Overrides settings for each phase defined using
Manage tab
Phasing panelPhasesGraphic Overrides tab).
- Show Complete. Shows the completed project, after demolition and new work have been performed in the current phase.
- Show Demo + New. Shows demolished elements and all new elements added to the building model.
- Show New. Shows all new elements added to the building model.
- Show Previous + Demo. Shows existing elements and demolished elements.
- Show Previous + New. Shows all original elements that were not demolished (Show Previous) and all new elements added to the building model (+ New).
- Show Previous Phase. Shows all elements from the previous phase. In the first phase of a project, existing elements are new to that phase, so applying the Show Previous Phase filter causes no elements to be displayed.
Phase Status
Each view can show one or more phases of the construction. You can specify different graphic overrides for each phase status.
- New. Element was created in the phase of the current view.
- Existing. Element was created in an earlier phase and continues to exist in the current phase.
- Demolished. Element was created in an earlier phase and demolished in the current phase.
- Temporary. Element was created and demolished during the current phase.
