In Chapter 3, Revit Templates and Standards, we showed you how to implement Revit Phases for Revit templates. In this section, we will present the best practices for using Revit Phases.

Although we may use just one Revit file with both Phases for a single house project, we can gain productivity by using separated files for each Phase in medium and large projects.
Revit File with Only the Existing Phase
This Revit file will only contain the surveyed model for the existing building, and it will only be used to demolish objects.
We can use the Demolish tool from the Modify tab and...
