Been thinking about the best (ie most efficient) way to do this. So far I think I will model the existing, save that file, then save as another file and make the changes in the save as file. That way I have the original and the proposed. I can print off what I need from existing and also from proposed. I've tried bringing a specification in from Word but it's too cumbersome so will keep the spec in Word. With these three files I can print to pdf the sheets/views docs I want into one file.<br />Anyone got any better/easier ideas?<br />ps - not yet tried Phases.<br />JohnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03079155470369343953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22975127.post-22233585001588605992012-08-19T08:20:38.637-07:002012-08-19T08:20:38.637-07:00Thanks for this article.

My hope was that this last post would get more people talking about remodels in Revit.

Very new beginner here - haven't eve...Hi there,<br />Very new beginner here - haven't even started using Revit 2011 which our small firm just purchased. Have done most of the tutorials from 2010.<br />My question about remodeling projects is relating to demolishing part of a wall assembly. We often have century old houses with double-wythe brick exterior walls (about 9" total width), and the interior is finished with lathe and plaster (varies, but +/- 2"). <br />We often remove the interior lathe & plaster, and replace with a new interior 2x4 strapping wall with insulation and drywall.<br />Any suggestions for a method of approach would be hugely appreciated!n.a.l.k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07044401249177719869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22975127.post-91801175292219372872010-12-04T08:26:44.376-08:002010-12-04T08:26:44.376-08:00Our office has been using REVIT for all projects f...Our office has been using REVIT for all projects for the past 8 years. At least half are remodels in either commercial or residential. there are great benefits to the phasing properties as you have mentioned. As an office we are just now successfully billing our clients accordingly for the extra up front time in building the model. Good Luck to you!<br />Michaelmclhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464565192570706726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22975127.post-9185420130935527352010-11-09T01:38:23.129-08:002010-11-09T01:38:23.129-08:00Remodeling is really harder than just starting fro...Remodeling is really harder than just starting from scratch. Yet, now that there are several technologies available on the market, it seems that it's just the budget, time and our creativity that hinders us. Though it may still sound too heavy, we got some help from <a href="http://www.cmmxyz.com/laser-scanning-equipment.html" rel="nofollow">laser scanning equipment</a>, autocads and even BIM to cure some problems.

Of course, not much works well in Revit MEP, but that is another story. New construction is much easier.
