Hello,

This is my first post on Revit City, however I have been using families from here and utilizing other posts whenever I had problems.  I am in the process of doing my first set of As-Built drawings for a small residential renovation in Revit 2012.  Typically, from my experience in this type of job, both a set of As-Built drawings are developed as well as a set of New floor plans for the proposed renovation.  Now, my main question is since two different floor plans are being created, does that mean in my 3D view, I will have two seperate 3D models, one for the existing As-Built floor plans and another for the proposed new floor plan layout?

So far I am only just completing the existing As-Built floor plans, so I am not too far ahead to turn around and make the necessary changes, however, any input would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick

Your terminology is confusing.  Existing is existing - what is there when you start.  That ould be your base model and everthing would be in existing phase.  "As Builts" are modifications to your construction documents to reflect what was built from your documents.  ...After construction.

Ok my apologies, just used to different terminologies.  As i mentioned i am currently taking measurements of the current as-built construction in the small residential project the renovation shall occur on.  From here, once the as built plans have been drawn I will then begin drawing the floor plans for the proposed renovation and new construction to occur.

Unless i am missing something, will that not mean i will have two models.  One for the as-built construction and another when i do the new floor plans?

What will switching all as built construction assemblies to the existing phase do to my drawings or model?

Thanks

No. If I understand correctly you will be using PHASES to do this work.  All of the existing work will go on the Existing Phase and all of the New work will go on a New work Phase.

Ok yes i was just reading up about this.  And so then in the 3D model, you can actually control which phase is visible and which is not?  I will continue reading the information on utilizing phases and phase filters because i have not used them before, but do you have your own description of them in a nutshell?

If not thats alright, i appreciate your help.

Thanks

Yes read up on Phasing in your HELP.

Its basically how it sound.. Your existing will be on existing, new on new and you will have phase filters set so that you can show the Existing and new work in one view and existing only in another view and new and demolition work in another view etc.

Ok that makes sense, so i could essentially create two 3D views, or duplicate the existing 3D view to make 2.  From there i could utilize one to show a model with all existing construction and utilize the other to show new? 

Other then that, where is the HELP in order to find information on phases?

Exactly

Open Revit and press F1 then just search Phases
