■ In the left pane of the Open dialog, click Training Files, and open Common\c_STR_Project_Phasing.rvt.<br />

NOTE The units of measurement in this project file are imperial. Because units of measurement have little bearing<br />

on the goals of this tutorial, you do not need to change the project units to metric. If you wish to do so, click<br />

Settings menu ➤ Project Units, define metric units, and click OK.<br />

Verify the current phase is New Construction<br />

1 In the Project Browser, expand Views (all), expand Floor Plans, and double-click Floor.<br />

When you create a new structural project, 2 phases exist by default: Existing and New<br />

Construction. As you add new elements to the building model, they are assigned to the New<br />

Construction phase by default. This phase assignment is controlled by a Phase setting within<br />

the view properties. For example, if a view is assigned to a Phase 1 setting, then new building<br />

elements are assigned to Phase 1. Every building element has a Phase Created and a Phase<br />

Demolished value so you can assign a creation and a demolition phase to new work.<br />

TIP Available phases and view phase settings can be changed in a project template so they are<br />

available for each new project. They can also be added or edited in an existing project at any time.<br />

2 Click View menu ➤ View Properties.<br />

3 In the Element Properties dialog, under Phasing, notice that Show All is selected for Phase Filter<br />

and New Construction is selected for Phase.<br />

Any new elements that you add to this view are assigned the New Construction phase value.<br />

The Show All filter means that all building model elements (new, existing, demo, or temporary)<br />

are visible in this phase. A phase view can show work in the current phase and work from<br />

previous phases in the project timeline. By default, the current phase linework is displayed as<br />

black, while previous phase linework is displayed as gray. Demolition work is represented by a<br />

black dashed line.<br />
