Phases in Revit are used to simplify the creation of Renovation or Multi-Phases projects.

Instead of manually drafting dashed lines to represent demolished walls, using phases automates the process and produce the correct graphic representation much more easily.

All of this sounds confusing? Don’t worry, these tips got you covered.

1- CREATE ALL NECESSARY PHASES

To access all Phases options, go to Phases menu in the Manage tab. The first thing you need to do is set the phases you require.

RENOVATION PROJECT: In most Revit templates, the basic phases are Existing and New. For most project, this is all you will need. A common mistake is to create a Demolition phase. There is no need for that: demolished elements can be set for demolition in the New phase.
