Hi everyone. I would like to ask how do i set the default phase. Because everything what i create is set as a "new" and everytime i have to manually change it to "existing". I work with phases on renovation projects, so i use "new" phase as well, but first i draw existing object. So i would like to set an "existing" phase as a default.
Thanks guys.

At the beginning of your project you could just merge the new construction phase with the existing phase so there is only one within the project then all your views will default to phase existing. Certainly that is how I start most refurbishment projects. Almost everything i'm modeling for the first while is exiting so there is no need for the new construction phase at that point. Then beyond that point when you add new proposed phases the majority of you views will still default to existing. Hope this helps!
You can set the default phase in your view settings. If that is set to existing all the elements you draw will be also in existing.
PS: It is quite common to have three drawing sets in this case: existing, demolished, new.
yeah @Avaris. is right you can set the phase per view in the view proprieties so what ever you draw will be on that particular phase. Just note this is only on a per view basis I've been caught out when jumping between different levels that haven't been set to the same phase, that's the reason i remove all other phases at the beginning then the phase will be set to existing globally rather than per view. the you can add proposed phases later.
