Attach Existing Phase to New Phase

[pix18001]

 Hello. I'm stuck on a problem that I can't seem to find an answer to. I am starting to think that I did something wrong with my project.

I am doing a remodel/addition for a house. I have 3 phases setup. Existing, demo, and new. The addition is a sunroom that is going to be joined with the existing house. When I show the complete project, the existing phase and the new phase do not join together to make one complete building. Revit separates the 2 phases and keeps them that way. To be specific, I need walls, roof, gutters, fascias, and soffits joined together. Any possible solutions?

I have attached pictures and the Revit file.

Use Join geometry and set the view's phase filter to Show complete.

I haven't checked out the Revit file yet (downloading) but could it have something to do with the fact that Demo should never be an individual phase? 
You really should only have two phases, Existing and New. All demo is a part of New Construction phase, never on it's own phase. This could be messing with Revit's ability to show the complete model.

So, I stand by my previous statements about never having a demo phase on it's own. 
However, now that I've looked at the Revit model... I'm not sure what's wrong with the window you've circled in your image, but the roof issue looks like you've used the Join Geometry tool instead of the Roof Join tool. 
Roof Join is going to allow you to join the back edge of that small roof to match the slope of the big roof. 

Unjoin geometry and then edit the small roof footprint so it doesn't intersect with the large roof and then use the Roof Join tool to get them to connect properly.

Yea this isn't a phase issue. You just need to join the roofs. You'd have this same issue even if they were all new construction.

Look inside the window. The wall goes through the addition.

So if I remove the demo phase and put all of demo on new then do unjoin/join geometry the walls, roof, gutters, soffits, and fascias should all join together?

OK i see it now.
Well i believe this IS a phasing or modeling issue. When I look at that part of the wall in the model, it has no phase, so it's hosted by something else... so I really think you need to adjust how this has been modelled. if you plan on removing a portion of that existing wall to open it up to the new addition, that part of the wall must be split from the existing wall and then it's phase demolished must be changed to 'new construction'.

I think you should really investigate how Phasing should work in Revit, as that Demo phase is going to mess with every single element and view in your project.

I would merge the demo phase with the new construction phase in your phase manager and then go and figure out what you need to demo and use the 'phase demolished' setting to properly demolish those items. Walls will need to be split if they're only partially demoed.

I'll give it try. If you don't mind, I'd like to keep you posted on the progress to make sure I'm doing it right.
