Associating Phasing to Geometry, Views, and Project Settings

The design of a project often goes through phases traditionally marked by level of detail and specificity. One of the earliest phases, schematic design, eventually evolves into construction documentation. This liner progression makes a lot of sense when drawings are discrete and moved through their own linear progression.

First plans, then elevations, then sections—each drawing relied on the information of the one that came before it and were often adjacent to each other on the same hand drawn sheets for faster reference.

Revit can be used much the same way as the traditional design processes we've just described—but don't be surprised if you're quickly frustrated. The information created ...
