I am just getting in BA, but experienced with REVIT - this may be a blessing or curse...time will tell!
How do I go about dealing with an old existing building, having substantial demolition and new construction? Revit does it by assigning elements to "timeline" phases. Each element in a Revit BIM model is associated to a point in time i.e. past, present or future. From this you can control how and when elements are viewed.
In addition to an extensive demolition phas the new construction will be built out in two different construction phases (two tenants).
I also would like to leverage as much of the BIM model as possible - extracting data (take-off quanitities, schedules, etc.) and even export into gbXML for energy analysis - for all phases of the project i.e. existing, demolition, new construciton phase 1 and then in phase 2.
For various reasons two LEED certifications are being attempted: LEED Core and Shell and LEED for Commercial Interiors.
This is an old brick building (36,000 sf.) built in 1915. I need to be able to isolate various elements/areas (phases) of the BIM model in a variety of ways throughout the entire documentation process.
Any insight, resources, links and/or blogs are greatly appreciated. Help and resources for Bentley seem soooooo difficult to find and understand.

One option would be to use your reference files (you could use levels and different parts but that is an issue onto itself
The only issue I see would be to take all parts in the "Demolition wall file" and change the line style to demo
I would love to see the phase characteristic in a part to take on a design characteristic in the view.
I assuem with this additon of things like fire rating and phases in the DG this is a viable option in the near future.
"A Centerline to take on whatever linestyle is tied to the firerating of a wall" "A wall is dashed if the phase is demo" You don;t even need the demo layers because of reference fiels but you might if work goes to someone with levels (like a University)"
