Click the Phases button on the Manage tab to access the settings for phases
in your template. The Phasing dialog box has three tabs for setting up the
phases and their behavior. The Project Phases tab is where you establish
what phases exist in your file. Revit starts each file with an Existing phase
and a New Construction phase by default.
You can add phases by using the buttons on the upper-right side of the
dialogbox,insertingnewphasesbeforeorafterthephaseselectedinthelist.
The list of phases starts from the earliest and ends with the latest. So if you
were to insert a Demolition phase between Existing and New Construction,
you could either select New Construction and use the Insert Before button
or select Existing and use the Insert After button. The order of phases is
important because when views are set up, you will establish what phase they
belong to. Any items placed into the model will be part of the phase that is
set for the view in which they are placed.
During the course of a project, it may be decided that a phase is no longer
necessary. You can use the Combine With buttons at the right side of the
dialog box to transfer the items from one phase to another.
