The Phase filters have 4 Categories available for overrides:

  • New
  • Existing
  • Demolished
  • Temporary

There needs to be a 5th Category:

  • Future

Logic behind this, is that the work I'm doing, is frequently of a 'shell and core' nature, the elements that are going into the shell, need however to be coordinated and shown to be coordinated against future work, that we are also responsible for as designers.

 

The workaround of using a Filter that is set to the phase created does work, but the limit in the order of phases that will be displayed, is always going to be the current phase. It is not possible to be in a current phase, and show the future work.

 

Example:

I have a project where there are 4 phases. They are called:

  • Existing
  • Enabling Work
  • Shell & Core
  • Internal Fitout

 

If Shell & Core is the current phase, and I set up a Phase Filter, the limit on what is displayed is always going to be excluding Internal Fitout. To show Internal Fitout against Shell & Core, so that I can place elements that need to go in at the S&C phase in the correct position relative to where the Internal Fitout needs them to be (like drainage) I have to make Internal Fitout the current phase and use a filter, but everything I add will be to the Internal Fitout phase, not the Shell & Core one.

 

I've been doing this due to the absence of any other option, which has meant a lot of updating of elements to the correct phase.

 

This could be avoided if there was more flexibility in how phases are filtered with a 'Future' option added.

 

Anyway, another idea to gather dust, sorry, 'gathering support', for the next 10 years or so.
