Hi All,
I having having real difficulties understanding and altering the phase filters.
Essentially, I am trying to apply a different colour to my EXISTING cut walls by using the graphic overrides in new phases that I have set-up. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to get these changes to apply. For illustration, I am trying to change the graphic fill for existing walls to bright pink when using my newly created phase filter 'PG Existing':

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah phases can be little bit confusing. I will try to explain the concept
In Revit you have phase which you can define (phase1, phase2, phase3 or existing, new, future, far future)
The sequence in the list phase list determines from old to new
When you look at the phase filters, then you see new, existing, demolished, temporary.
These are NOT phases (this is what confuses most people). These phase filters are times that are relative to your view you apply them to.
Example you have the following phase defined: phase1 (oldest), phase2, phase3 and phase4(newest)
Example1
I now have a view where Phase3 is active. So how do the phase filters apply to this.
Phase filter NEW means all elements that have a "Phase Created" of Phase3
Phase Filter EXISTING means all elements that have a "Phase Created" of Phase2 or Phase1
Phase Filter DEMOLISHED means all elements that have a "Phase Created" of Phase2 or Phase1 and "Phase Demolished" of Phase3
Phase Filter TEMPORARY means all elements that have a "Phase Created" of Phase3 and "Phase Demolished" of Phase3
So in Revit Demolishing is (normally) not a separate Phase, it is something that happens during a phase.
Example 2
I now have a view where Phase2 is active. So how do the phase filters apply to this.
Phase filter NEW means all elements that have a "Phase Created" of Phase2
Phase Filter EXISTING means all elements that have a "Phase Created" of Phase1
Phase Filter DEMOLISHED means all elements that have a "Phase Created" of Phase1 and "Phase Demolished" of Phase2
Phase Filter TEMPORARY means all elements that have a "Phase Created" of Phase2 and "Phase Demolished" of Phase2
With the creation of filter names (in the phase filters) like "Show New" you can decide how the different stages will be displayed

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
Revit 2022 and newer you now have Phase as a Category for View Filters. This opens the door to have much more VG control over multi-phase projects.
