Copying Rooms Between Phases
Rooms in Revit Architecture let you specify properties for a region of the building model, such as a Name,
Surface Finishes, and Level Offset. After setting these parameters to identify the characteristics of a room in
one phase, you may want to use that room specification in another phase. This is useful when changing an
existing region with new construction. To do this, copy the room from a view assigned to one phase to a
view assigned to a different phase to preserve the parameter settings.
For example, to copy room specifications from the Existing phase to the New Construction phase, use the
following procedure.
To copy room specifications from one phase to another
1 Open the plan view where you have added a room.
2 Right-click in the view, and click View Properties.
3 Scroll down to the Phasing section. For Phase, specify Existing, and click OK.
4 Select the room that you want to copy, and click Edit
➤
Copy to Clipboard.
5 Repeat steps 2 and 3 above, but, for Phase, specify New Construction.
6 Click Edit
➤
Paste Aligned
➤
Current View.
The room is added to the New Construction phase with the same properties that were specified
in the Existing phase.
Phase-Specific Rooms and Linked Models
If phase-specific rooms in a linked model do not reflect the correct phases, check phase mapping for the
linked model.
When you link a model to the host project, Revit Architecture performs phase mapping to align phases in
the linked model with phases in the host project. If the automatic phase mapping does not give the desired
result, you can map phases between projects manually. See
Phase Mapping Linked Revit Models on page
1216.
Removing Rooms
After creating rooms, you can remove rooms from a building model in the following ways:
■ Unplace : Removes the room from its location in building model, but the project still contains information
about the room. Then you can place the room in another location later during a project redesign. See
Unplacing or Moving Rooms on page 937.
■ Delete : Completely removes the room (including all information about the room) from the project. See
Deleting Rooms on page 938.
