Create a view of the existing phase with the phase filter set to Previous & New. <br />2. In Visibility/Graphics Overrides (In your view template if you will have multiple demo views), go to the Filters tab. At the bottom, click on the box Edit/New to modify document filters.<br />3. Create a new Rule-based Filter for each new construction phase of your project, calling it Demolition, or Demolition-Phase 1... (Make sure you have the new Filter set to Define rules). <br />4. Check every category that you may have items to demolish. (Some categories can't be added because they aren't phase specific)<br />5. Filter Rules: AND (All rules must be true), All Selected..., Phase Demolished, equals, Phase 1 (or whatever phase you are setting the filter for). Apply/OK.<br />6. Back at the Filters tab, Add your Demolition filter. Set your overrides in Project/Surface & Cut to show all of your demo items correctly in the view.<br /><br />Remember: You will want to create a view template set for each phase & view type needed. Each view will be set to the existing or previous phase, allowing the correct rooms to show. <br />Lorennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-23594257342455380392018-01-06T08:14:55.734-08:002018-01-06T08:14:55.734-08:00...Now it's 2018, and there's STILL no san......Now it's 2018, and there's STILL no sane "fix" for this (aka giving rooms a demolished phase parameter) from Autodesk. Unfortunately, some projects are too messy even for the overlay method. This should be a top ten on the Autodesk Wish List for sure.<br /><br />Thank you for your blog. It's been a life saver over the years. I, and thousands of other people, really appreciate all your help!

Does anyone know where I might find more current solutions to this issue. I am using MEP2011 and the Architect did use this method of placing 2 views on the sheet. Id'e really appreciate your insights.

I hope you don't mean underlay, because you can only select from a level, not a duplicated view, and I am already using underlay to show a different set of information. I can't find a reference to overlay on Revit City either. I await your wisdom!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503068000030677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-11937711949143948622008-08-05T20:36:00.000-07:002008-08-05T20:36:00.000-07:00Agree 100%.

Now what happens if that wall is to be demolished and rebuilt? Well, we could ask to get functionality to retain the room, but that probably unnecessarily complicates matters. After all, you probably will schedule that room for new finishes anyway, so that room is being "recreated" as new nonetheless.Dave Baldacchinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431940617680243953noreply@blogger.com
