Demolishing Elements
Use the Demolish tool to mark elements as demolished in the current phase. If you demolish an element
in one view, it is marked as demolished in all views that have the same phase.
When you demolish an element, its appearance changes based on the phase filter setting for the view. (See
Phase Filters on page 1265.) For example, if you apply the Show Demo + New phase filter to the view, any
demolished elements display as black, dashed lines. If you turn off the display of demolished elements in
that phase filter, then demolished elements are hidden in the view when you click them.
NOTE If you build and demolish an element in the same phase, it is considered to be a temporary element. It
displays in the view according to the phase filter's setting for temporary elements.
The following images show a view whose phase filter determines that existing elements display as blue solid
lines and demolished elements display as red dashed lines.
View before demolition; existing elements display as solid blue lines
