Phasing Order

[Ilic.Andrej]

Once we have created phases in Revit, we can't change their order. I'm looking for a workaround for this problem, hopefully using Dynamo. Here is a quick explanation why I need to be able to change the order.

We are designing a very large building. We constructed the shell of the building and its interior is to be divided into sectors. Each of the sectors will be a separate rental space. The intention of the investor is to rent warehouse and office space to many clients. However, he will not invest into a sector before has made a contract with a renter who is interested in using the space. I assume this approach has some financial benefits in an unstable market.

Naturally, we decided to turn the sectors into building phases. The problem is that we don't know the order of the phases. The order depends on the deals that are beyond our scope of work. This is why I need to be able to change the phase order occasionally.

Since you have found a major stumbling block, you should rethink this. Personally, I would treat each tenant space as a separate project broken out from the main one. Like facilities management would do. The workflow is there and it works.

Good luck!

Hi @Ilic.Andrej 

What about you do the opposite workflow... Create everything in the last phase and Group the different situations as you wish.

When decided to go you just choose the specific group and change it´s phase to Faza A. Next Decision made? Slect the new group and change it to Faza B.

From this, you could do what you know how to... Create or duplicate the Views and phases individually and the last phase considering everything until that point.

What do you think?

I wouldn't use revit phasing for what you are doing.  Add your own sector parameter to all model categories and assign it to your model then create view filters to control what show and what don't.

Alright, I'll use view filters.
