Hi Duane. No, element materials remain consistent across phases. The presentation of elements in existing Vs new phases are controlled by the phase filters alone, which can be edited from the phases dialogue in the Manage Tab. This means if you were to render your project all materials would present uniformly in spite of belonging to different phases of works.
Great video as allways! If you can find some spare time, it would be great if you could make a video on how to do this for MEP elements as well. I can't seem to get changes to work. Like turning elbows into T's and add to the system (ducting and/or plumming).
This channel is the best Revit content on the Internet. Is this channel still active? Will there be new videos? Do you do consulting work? Thanks for a great education!
Hi! Thanks for the kind words. I am a director if a Multisciplinary Engineering and Architecture consultancy so I have not had capacity for a while to post new content. Hoping to get back to posting in the near future.
@@8020BIM Every time I start a new project I watch your "9 steps to setting up a good Revit model" tutorial. It would help me immensely if you someday would expand it to a series of books, "Best Practices Guide to Design/Build a small apartment building," "Best practices Guide to Design/Build custom residential projects," and so forth. I have watched at least a hundred Revit videos and gone through the Autodesk Certification course and I still really have no idea what I am doing. I still have my drafting table from 30 years ago when I was in trade school. I can churn out a complete set of prints by hand but I can't get even a simple building designed in Revit. I look forward to learning more from you in the near future.
@michaelchow1275 I am glad that you have found the videos so useful, Michael. Truth be told I had considered undertaking some deep dive courses to take people all the way from New beginners to producing infromation for different construction types but it would take 1000's of hours I currently don't have. I am very keen to produce a series similar to what you have suggested in the future. So, thanks for the validation that it is somerhing people would consider beneficial.
Have you had any success yet with keeping the original rooms in the demolition stage when the new room looks different? when giving the demolition drawings to the contractor its nice with the old room names and number.
Thanks again - there really is no need for your continued generosity. I am just glad that you are getting value out of the information I have made available. Reach out if you ever have any specific questions and thanks for the continued support :)
Thanks for the feedback - looks like you are gearing up to produce some content. All the best with it and feel free to reach out for any help / insights/ ideas you would like to run through. Regards Niall
THIS TUTORIAL WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT..............EXCEPT HE BEGAN THE VIDEO BY SHOWING US NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT STEPS SUCH AS: DRAWING THE FLOOR PLAN FROM SCRATCH AND THE STEPS IN SETTING UP THE PHASING MODE.
Hey 8020 BIM, Thank you for your tutorials, very informative and you explain everything perfectly. This phasing has me stumped. I follow everything you say, but after setting up all 3 phases, when i draw a proposed wall in phase 1, it shows in the existing floor plan. Annoying to say the least. any light on this issue will help.
Thanks for the positive feedback Jon - planning on getting back creating videos very soon. Let me know if you have any questions on the content as you progress through it. All the best, Niall
In what case the design option is used ? and in what case the phases is use ? they seem to have same function ! what is the difference between them please ?
Hi Amer. Design options are for exploring alternative designs within a single model file. Phases are pertinent to only the construction sequencing of the works as they would progress on site. You should never use Phases to explore different designs. I have a video outlining the fucntionality of Design options at the below link. th-cam.com/video/D1GUnhREJCA/w-d-xo.html Niall
very helpful! how would you go about demolishing a section of an existing floor (i.e. a balcony) and would it take place in new construction phase? and is there a way to go back and view the existing floor before demolition?
Hi Alma, thanks for the positive feedback. Unfortunately, you can't demolish "part" of something in Revit (with some exceptions such as structural opes being places loallly). You'll have to model the floor as two (or more) separate pieces, the piece(s) to remain and the piece(s) to be demolished. Then you demo the parts as needed. Hope you find this helpful, Niall
Thanks again Stuart - make sure to view the 5 Phasing tips and Tricks video as well to round out the topic for you. th-cam.com/video/-g7KCV4AZH8/w-d-xo.html Niall
It is a message that Revit prompts to ask the user if they would like the walls to attach to a newly created floor. The majority of the time you should press no. Regards Niall
@@8020BIM hi sir how r u actually I Am non technical student I only did 12. I have knowledge of AutoCADD and revit arc.. can I go for Bim modeller can u suggest me plz bcoz neither I did any diploma or BTech in civil ??
@@iftekharkhan8879 I genuinely could not answer this for you. There are many variables to consider. Truel I think to be proficient in BIM you need to have a detailed understanding of construction principles and detailing. In my experience most people can get qualified in BIM fields, but the high level BIM professionals come from construction design or management backgrounds and then learned BIM on the job. Best I can do to answer that question I am afraid but it might help you come to a conclusion. Good. Luck!
I prefer the manual control of assigning the wall demolition to a known phase then to jsut use the hammer tool and have it removed from the working phase. Does that make sense at all Iftekhar? Regards Niall
@@iftekharkhan8879 yes, technically you are correct. The hammer tool works but I prefer the control of the manual assignment. Ultimately up to you to decide what work flow suits you best.
Hi Klas. TH-cam and Google services were problematic and sometimes down today. I have had no other comments regarding sound quality so it may have been YT steaming oddly as they tried regain full service. If you would like to try watch the video again I believe the audio interference should be resolved.
extremely helpful, nothing was glossed over and everything was clearly described/depicted
Thansk for the feedback, Glad to have helped.

This video did made me understand Phasing better, but do I have to re-assign materials at every phasing stage?
Hi Duane. No, element materials remain consistent across phases. The presentation of elements in existing Vs new phases are controlled by the phase filters alone, which can be edited from the phases dialogue in the Manage Tab. This means if you were to render your project all materials would present uniformly in spite of belonging to different phases of works.
Good work - Really great info and the narrative really helps. Thanks and I look forward to watching the other videos when I have time.
Thanks Andy, glad you found the information informative!
Excellent simple and understandable video explaining the subject matter . Thank you.

Very good tutorial. It is clear, complete and very well explained.
Glad it was helpful!
Question : Why dint you do both of the changes together ? Why did zou make it in phase 1 and 2 separately ?
Niall loved the phasing video very informative JS Edenholme
extremely helpful, Great Work.
I love you for this!
Glad you found it informative 👍
very clear steps thank you verr much
You are most welcome, glad you found it informative.

thank you for sharing!!!this is very helpful.
Thank you so much. This gave me so much inspiration for my project.
Thank you very much for this great tuts!
Your teaching method is excellent and enjoyable Thank you
Niall totally nail(l)ed it!! ;-) LOL
(thanks for saving my sanity again today... this touched ALL the bases of what I was confronted with)
Thanks again for the positive feedback Diane, glad you are finding the videos useful 😊
very detailed video. thank you :)
Very good tutorial with lots of extra hints and information! Thank u very much :)

By the way thanku Nd take care.
Best Revit Phase Class I have see! Supper helpful, Thank you so much!
Great to hear Yan, glad you found the information valuable.
Bt I saw many people who know only AUTOCADD and revit arc they got job in gulf country on the base of these software...then how they get?
Great Tutorial. Can you show phase 1 only hiding exsting and similarly, phase 2 only hiding existing and phase 1.
THANK YOU
This is great. The essentials are all captured aptly. I finally get a full grasp of phasing. Thanks
Thank you for the positive feedback, glad you found it informative.
Niall
Thanks so much for this video. Do you have any tutorials on creating two or more models (buildings) on one same view?
Thanks
thank you for this video, now i can apply this in my project.
Thank You for simplifying this concept.
No problem Peter, glad you found it valuable.
Niall
Perfect tutorial!!!!Thank you
You are most welcome.
Very clear practical workflow explaination. Thank you
Thanks that was great well explained and complete thanks again
good tutorial! on another note, you should do asmr videos 😅
Thanks for the feedback 😅
i went downstairs like u mentioned... pretty interesting!
