In the Element Properties dialog, notice that the Phase Created value is New Construction, and
the Phase Demolished value is None. These values let you assign creation and demolition phases
in a timeline. You can also use the Demolition tool to select building elements for demolition.

8 On the Basics tab of the Design Bar, click Modify to clear the command.
Add and edit phases
9 Click Settings menu ➤ Phases.
10 In the Phasing dialog, on the Project Phases tab, click the New Construction field.
11 Enter Phase 1 (south).
All building objects that were assigned to New Construction are now assigned to Phase 1 (south)
because you changed the phase name.
12 Under Insert, click After, and enter Phase 2 (north) under Name.
The phases are on a timeline with later phases lower on the list, so Phase 1 and Phase 2 occur
after the Existing phase.
13 Click in the Description fields for each phase, and enter the following text:
■ Existing: Existing building
■ Phase 1 (south): Existing building with new steelwork and demolished walls
■ Phase 2 (north): New building with steelwork and exterior panel wall
14 Click OK.
There are now 3 phases in your project: Existing, Phase 1 (south), and Phase 2 (north). All of
the building elements in the project are currently assigned to Phase 1 (south).
Assign selected building elements to the Existing phase
15 In the Project Browser, expand 3D Views, and double-click 3D.
16 Click View menu ➤ View Properties.
17 In the Element Properties dialog, scroll down the list of Instance Parameters until you see the
Phasing heading.
The Phase value is Phase 1 (south) and the Phase filter is Show All, which means that work
assigned to Phase 1 (south), existing earlier phases, demo, or temporary work (created and
demolished in same phase), is visible in this view.
18 Select Show New for Phase Filter, and click OK.
Now you are seeing only work that is new to Phase 1 (south) of the project. You do not see a
change in the graphics because all the building elements are new to Phase 1 (south). With the
phase Filter set to Show New, as you change selected building elements to the existing phase,
you will see a visual confirmation of the change as the building elements disappear from the
view.
