phases and room names

[williamsmitchell]

hello... ive got an existing and new phase to my building
we are doing some renovations in the old part and modifying some rooms and demoing and creating some new ones.

my issue is that i need to see room names in the existing part. ive put rooms in the existing part of the building on the "new construction" phase for rooms that im modifying but there are alot of rooms in the old part that im not touching and i dont want them in my schedule.. but i still want to see the room tag in my plan

any thoughts?

thanks

shane

If you don't want to add the rooms to the new construction phase you could trick Revit by creating a new view assigned to phase existing and turn off the display of everything except for rooms and their tags. Place this view on top of the view you are using on your sheet and you'll see the tags for the rooms in the existing phase. Just remove the tags for rooms that aren't there anymore. As long as the scale of the special view is the same as the one on the sheet they will snap into alignment on the sheet.

It's annoying, ball they needed to do was add a 'demolished in' parameter to the room's phase :mad:

It's annoying, ball they needed to do was add a 'demolished in' parameter to the room's phase :mad:adding the parameter Phase Demolished is probably the easiest part. Making sure the program actually treats rooms properly according to all view configurations that are possible is the harder part. That said I submitted the wish the day that Revit Building 9.0 came out, when rooms became "real". Rooms should persist across phases like walls and doors since they do in real life. When we demo the walls that define a room we should also need to demo the room.

We just ran into this issue on a multi-phase job we're doing. It's already bad enough when you create 3 distinct phases and want to show them on a drawing as being "new construction" and have to explain to the PA that Revit won't let you do that in a direct way. But the worst was when we wanted all room names to show up (all 3 new phases and existing) and we ended up overlaying a lot of views with just tags visible etc. It works but it's not very elegant.
