Phasing Rooms

Phasing Rooms

Hello, 

 

Please allow Rooms to be an element that can be phased and demolished.

 

Often times, demolition views are set to "Show Previous + Demo" on a Phase filter, and "New Construction Phase" on the Phase. Because the view is set to "New construction, all rooms created on an "Existing" Phase disappear. This becomes problematic when rooms within rooms are demolished (two rooms become one room for a renovation project). The boundaries for the existing room no longer exist, so you can't label that room in a demolition view. 

 

My company circumvents this issue by creating symbols that look like room tags. This works, except that we have to copy the symbolic room tag across multiple views, which is irritating. 

 

I was hoping this would change with 2019. If this is not possible to do, please explain how to tag existing rooms when the view is set to Phase, "New Construction."

 

Thank you, 

Michelle

Hi,

 

As we tackle large-scale projects that span multiple phases in a single model, it becomes impractical to copy rooms in each phase just to show them in all phases, now you have room names and numbers that are duplicated in the project, this just adds confusion and can be misleading. 

Would like to know why rooms can't act as any other model elements in Revit? 

 

Thank you,
