Best practice for placing levels in a new phase of the project

Hi 

I have an existing building in one phase that is to be fully demolished

And I am building a new building in its footprint

All the levels vary however

My question is

What is the best practice of placing my levels for this new phase

I dont want my elevations to be filled with lots of different levels for the two buildings

Regards

Aidan

Why not make two projects?

 

Buildings have a life cycle. The old building is going away. Demo it, be done with it, and start anew!

If you demolish the entire existing building then I am on board with @RSomppi .  If a portion of the existing to remain and to be incorporated with the new building then come back and we will discuss further.

You can use a view filter to show/hide different levels. Add a prefix to each level name for existing & new, then use the view filter to hide level names containing the word you don't want to see.

Welp, that's not fully demolished, is it?

 

Give accurate information for appropriate solutions!

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.
