We have a renovation project with roughly 8 Phases of construction. The client wants to see a full buildout with the phases filled in by color or different line types per phase. Is there a way to create filters through the visibility graphics that can filter by phase? I assume that I could then use the overrides in the visibility graphics to change the color or line type.

Revit's phases are hard for new users to understand because they are NOT project phases.
Revit's phases are really only new, temporary, demolished and existing based on the current's view phase setting. Revit's phases are really view phases. So If you have set up 8 phases and the view is set to phase 6, then phase 6 is new and phases 1,2,3,4,5 are all existing.
If you have noticed, view filters do not allow you to filter by phase, so what do you do?
So in your case, I suggest you add to all your compontents (maybe just everything) a new project parameter - shared - and maybe call it PROJECT PHASE. Now you have something to view filter by and change the VG accordingly.
BTW - You will have to fill in this parameter for all objects - nothing automatic here.

Thanks WWHUb. I guess my question should be refined a bit. Is there a way to set up filters that use the phase created parameter in the properties to accomplish this instead of creating a new project parameter?
