using Phasing 365

Combined with visibility and graphic overrides, you’re able to create a filter that modifies the
graphics based on a parameter, as shown in Figure 10.3.

As a result of applying parameter-based filters, you will be able to modify the graphics of
a view to illustrate some metadata about the objects in a far more flexible and predictable way
than the phasing functionality, as shown in Figure 10.4. Another benefit is that this technique is
not limited to views of geometry. View filters can be applied to any view, including schedules,
which will allow you to group and filter schedules based on your unique project parameter.

Now that you understand a better way to create sequencing in Revit using parameters and
filters, we’ll discuss how phasing is best used. To work along with the steps in the following
section, download and open the file c10-Phases-Start.rvt from this book’s companion
website at www.sybex.com/go/masteringrevit2015.
