Phase - Infill in Elevation

[tonyisenhoff]

When you are using Phasing and you demo something (window), you can see an infill in plan when your view's Phase Filter is set to Show Previous and New.

Is it possible to see this same infill in Elevation?

Infill is real wall and should be shown in elevation. By default, Join Geometry is used to clean infill edges with hosting wall, so infill might not have any visible edges in elevation.
If you do not like Join Geometry related edge cleaning, Unjoin Geometry in plan view.

Excellent! I did not know that it was automatically joining the geometry.


We're doing a window replacement package and it's important to see the infill in elevation.

Thanks!

It's been a while since I've done this, so. . . the way that I remember it was, yes . . . but it depends on your view and graphic override settings. If it was something that has a surface pattern, then I think it would, or could be made to show a difference. We ended up producing our demo elevations in shaded mode so that the color difference would show the difference between existing and demo, etc. We did not print in color, the gray scale difference was sufficient, though they looked much better in color.

HTH,

Wishlist?
It would be nice if Show Complete showed the uninterupted wall (the actual "complete" condition) while show Previous and New showed the infill condition. When showing a final design I always want the infill to disapear, and when showing construction documents I always want the infill to show. It would be nice to just have views that show what I need, rather than running around joining all the geometry to show the client and then unjoining again to show the contractor.

My thoughts exactly. That is what I was expecting to have happen...
