Add Phasing to grids and levels

Add Phasing to grids and levels

Make it possible to add Phasing to Grids and Levels. So when demolishing a Floor or an entire wing of a building we can also "demolish" the corresponding Grids and Levels.

How do you solve the problem of when the existing level changes its datum ht e.g. when raising a house @benschilders and @nicola_peccin?

@Mark_Engwirda  If the whole house would need to be raised i think i would op to 
change the elevation of the project base point since the levels reference to that base point

Change project base point: 
1. activate project base point (make the subcategory of site project base point visible) 
2. select project base point on a floorplan
3. change elevation to desired raising height.

This is how i would do this , maybe there are better ways of doing this.

Phasing would be easier... To avoid different grid designation formats, I worked around this by duplicating the grid family type and adding "New" to the type name and filtering by type name.  (i.e. ' 1/4" Bubble ' and ' 1/4" Bubble (New) ') Does the same thing as the work set solution, but if you're not using/haven't enabled work sets...

Over 6 years on and this very sensible idea has not been added? It seems like it could be straight forward and would add so much utility for those working on renovation projects.

When working in a renovation project we now have to make separate level and grid types to hide them when working in existing / new. We would like to be able to demolish level and grids.

When modelling elements this would mean that, when for example a wall is modelled in the phase new only the levels that exist in the new phase show up.

Oké so the idea allready existed. Will there be any action taken?

It's been EIGHT years, please, Autodesk, make this change happen already. For phasing, object styles blocks any attempt to make this user friendly using the tools we DO have in our arsenal. The next best option is a filter per view / view template to force the override based on family / type name. And that still doesn't solve the issue raised by everyone above me on this thread - that a demolished gridline or level is just NOT possible and has to be hidden.
