Managing refurbishment projects with phasing

00:03

And we're looking at the level one existing view

00:06

which shows the existing layout of this building.

00:10

And it's proposed that we'll build an extension around the corner here

00:14

and also carry out some changes to the internal layout in this area here

00:19

to help us manage this, we'll use the phases.

00:22

So from the manage ribbon tab

00:24

on the phase in panel, we can choose phases.

00:28

And here we can see we have two phases within this project,

00:30

an existing and new construction phase,

00:34

these are created in time order to receive past at the top and future at the bottom.

00:40

We have the option to insert more phases either before or after the current phase

00:46

and combine phases with the previous or next phase. Should we need to,

00:51

we have phase filters

00:52

and this allows us to control the display of objects.

00:56

We can see that phase in assigns either new,

00:58

existing demolished or temporary status to our objects.

01:03

And then the filter will control how each of those objects will be displayed.

01:08

So for example, the shell

01:09

phase filter

01:11

will leave new objects to be displayed by category.

01:15

However, it will override the existing demolished and temporary objects

01:20

where the show complete filter

01:22

will leave both the new and the existing objects to be displayed by category

01:26

and it will turn off the demolished and the temporary objects.

01:30

So they not displayed in the view

01:32

where an object is set to be overridden.

01:34

Those overrides are defined in the graphic overrides tab.

01:38

And we can see the existing objects are set to

01:40

be grayed out slightly with their cart patterns hidden,

01:44

demolished objects are turned red with dashed lines.

01:47

And once again, their cart patterns are switched off.

01:50

If a new object is overridden, it's shown in black but with a black solid fill

01:55

and temporary objects are shown in blue

01:58

with a diagonal hatch pattern.

02:01

So we choose OK to this and go back to our existing view

02:04

looking at the properties of the view

02:07

at the bottom. Here, we have a phase in panel

02:10

and we can see that the phase of this view is set existing

02:13

and the phase filter is show all

02:16

selecting some of our objects

02:18

and looking at their properties. We can see that these objects have been created

02:22

in the existing phase

02:24

and this wall currently

02:26

has not been demolished

02:27

when we create a new object. In a view,

02:29

the object will inherit the phase of that view.

02:33

So as this is an existing view,

02:34

if I go to the architecture ribbon tab and choose to create a wall,

02:38

and I'll just create a wall between these ones here.

02:42

Now when I select this wall,

02:44

we can see that that's adopted the existing phase of the view that it was created in

02:48

looking at the area where we're going to build our extension.

02:51

If I select one of the windows,

02:53

we can see that this has been created in the existing phase.

02:56

However, it's also been demolished in the new construction phase.

03:01

So we'll go to the level one new view

03:05

and we can see now that those windows are shown red as per the show

03:09

all phase filter

03:10

as they've been set to be demolished. In this phase.

03:13

We can also see the extension has already been created

03:17

and selecting one of these objects.

03:18

We can see that that's created in the new construction phase.

03:22

And is it created in that phase?

03:24

It won't be visible in the existing view

03:27

because it's been created in a future phase.
