So first i want to see the excavation, then in another view see the foundation walls, and in another view see the foundation walls + the foundation columns. How can i do this in Revit with phase filters?

I was struggling to get understand how it all works and then i came across your page. <br />I am struggling with a few things and it would be great if you could help me out. <br />1. the new walls and floor are appearing to be translucent. Is that how it's meant to be when the project is divided into phases? <br />2. How can i make then non translucent? I tried going to phases tab and then onto to graphics override and play around with the transparency there. Then back onto phase filters and overriding the graphics but it turns the whole model into a black mass. :/Miyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758535376251163380.post-7777701976538472962016-07-06T03:17:48.277-07:002016-07-06T03:17:48.277-07:00Basic solution so far: (1) subdivide elements alon...Basic solution so far: (1) subdivide elements along predfined lines (2) assign phases (make parts Independent from original and (3) create QTO for parts, using columns with "original type" etc. -- please improve workflow if possible!David Wollinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156242284260091460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758535376251163380.post-65029747361120659112016-07-05T06:48:58.739-07:002016-07-05T06:48:58.739-07:00Hi!

I was wondering: is there a way to subdivide elements (walls, slabs) and automatically assign phases to them using grid lines (or lines) underneath the 3D model (i.e. "divide elements")? This creates "parts", but unfortunately all these parts or subdivisions are assigned the same phase. So either: (1) the subdivision needs to be more complete, creating independent elements instead of parts of a whole or (2) the parameter "phase" Needs to replaced with a parameter that applies to individual "parts". Basically, we're looking for a way to create subdivisions of elements to define construction / formwork phases in as few steps as possible. Currently, we have to create a new model (one slab becomes 10 or more sub-slabs), which is time-consuming. Other ideas: assigning materials to subdivisions, using Dynamo to generate subdivisions, using other program (Navisworks, iTWO) as second step...David Wollinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156242284260091460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758535376251163380.post-56213027436207347452015-10-27T08:09:54.146-07:002015-10-27T08:09:54.146-07:00I found this solution written by Cadastrophe (a fe...I found this solution written by Cadastrophe (a fellow EE member) in a Revit Foum. <br /><br />Two possible methods (neither of which is one-command):<br /> <br />1. Create a Multi-Category Schedule, select any one field, and disable "Itemize all instances". This should leave one cell; select it and click "Highlight in Model" on the Ribbon. Under Properties, the Phase parameters should be available but if not, use the Selection Filter to remove the non-applicable elements (such as Detail Items).<br /> <br />2. Go to Phases, create a New "New Construction" Phase at the end, select the original "New Construction" Phase and under 'Combine with:' click "Previous". This will move all of the Model Elements to the "Existing" Phase, but it will also set ALL of your Views to the Existing Phase as well.<br /><br />Also check out this blog that does an excellent job of explaining phases. http://revitclinic.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/10/time-to-phase.html<br />Scott Chattertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11193678982747957231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758535376251163380.post-67974950660463643542015-10-26T08:20:21.281-07:002015-10-26T08:20:21.281-07:00I'm working on a Phase II of a project, Phase ...I'm working on a Phase II of a project, Phase I of which was completed last year.

Below are Mikes thoughts.<br /><br />Without actually seeing the workflow my first thoughts are that it is a link setting or adjustment. When the Architect links in the structural model the view visibility settings for the Revit link display should be set to “by linked view” and by entering that dialogue box the structural link display should be as intended. If this doesn’t provide the desired settings the link could be set to custom and manipulated as desired.<br /><br />Thanks Mike.<br />Scott Chattertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11193678982747957231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758535376251163380.post-15039585817340699872015-03-28T11:11:47.582-07:002015-03-28T11:11:47.582-07:00Scott, we just came across something, we are a str...Scott, we just came across something, we are a structural firm and are working with an arch.

I played around with this for a while and I was able to move individual devices from phase to phase without issue. I was also able to move entire electrical systems from phase to phase successfully. Obviously when items were demolished they would lose connection which is expected.
