reactivating a model

I have a question about reactivating a model that was worked on a number of years ago.

The model in question was generated in 2017 and was a refurbishment of a building with all three phases used, existing, demolition and new construction.

The project was essentially an office refurb and was finished in 2019 and archived.

The same project is to be reconfigured, so what was new construction is now existing.

What is the best way of handling the phases for the new work given the demo no longer exists in the 2021 project and what was new is now existing, I would rather not have to set up a demo 2021 and new construction 2021 phase.

I hope I'm not confusing the hell out of everyone

The confusion stems from using the same terminology for distinct aspects of a building projects evolution. And having the default phase names be Existing and New Construction, while helpful  a simple renovation project, lead you into a false understanding that the names of phasing are related to the act of demolishing.

 

When you consider the Revit project phases as a timeline of the various states of the building being represented, Any number of Phases can be added and named to suit your requirements. In your case, this may be simply by renaming the previous phases:

 

Existing -> Existing 2017

New Construction -> Existing 2019

add an additional phase -> Construction 2021

 

Then, depending on whether you will be reusing your previous sheets and view or starting with the creation of new views and sheets, assign the new corresponding phases to the « Existing », « Demolition » and « Construction » views.

 

Hope this helps,

Another consideration is whether to retain or remove the past phases going forward. Deleting and purging the « Demolished » elements from previous phases will lighten the file size. Deleting the previous sheets and views will help avoid confusion in documentation.

 

If this is required, remember that there is no « Demolition » Revit phase and deleting a previous phase will delete the elements on from that phase. To delete all and only all the « demolished » items from a phase, set the view settings to show only the demolished elements and select everything visible in that view.

 

If your project requirement benefit by retaining the modeling and documentation from previous phases, you will then have to set up naming and organizational workflows to keep the project up to date and ready for the next phases.

You can map links and set the existing as New construction so it will be set to existing phase in the new demo project.

Thanks guys for that information, certainly a good basis to work off.

We've done this quite often. Phases make it possible. Open/Upgrade/Rename the old Project the add Phases of construction to it.  Don't Link it into a New Project unless you want to start from scratch. Linking won't carry over a lot of work.  Just the Model.  

 

FWIW.
