Project Phasing and Design Options
If an architect has an existing building and is developing new and future
designs, that architect may have phases set up in the project file. You'll
definitely need instruction from the architect on the particular phase of the
projectonwhichyouareworking,andwhatPhasefilterswereapplied.Once
you have a list of the phases in the architect's project and understand which
ones apply to your contract, you can set up
phase mapping
.
Say the architect has Existing, New Build, and Interior phases. Your project
has the phases First Fix and Second Fix. Select the linked Revit file, and
from the Properties dialog box, select Edit Type. Then, in the Type
Properties dialog box, select Phase Mapping, as shown in
Figure 5.19
.

This is where you decide which phase in the architect's file corresponds to a
phase in your project, as shown in
