Here's one that I've already made a video on but am revisiting for a project so I thought I'd share it here:
An easy quick tip to start off the day. Phasing can be a pain to even the most seasoned Revit veterans, and hopefully I can help you out with a little in-fill issue you may have in the future. When you demolish a door, window or any wall cutting object out of a wall, it replaces that former opening with an in-fill wall. This wall has no phase information but can be replaced with ANY wall type you have already defined. If you have a scenario where you want to replace the in-fill area with a different wall type (say you have a CMU/Concrete building and just want to in-fill with stud walls), this tip is going to be right up your alley!
The point of this is not only to change the in-fill type, but also how it is aligning with the rest of the wall.
Voila! Quick, easy and painless! Now just imagine with this info how creative you can get with your wall assembly to make this do just about anything you imagine!
Link to original TotD entry. Note that I switched 3 and 4, it does make a difference. Changing the location line after you change the wall type does not affect anything as far as I could tell in 2011.

- Demolish your wall cutting object
- In your next phase view, select the in-fill create by the previous demolition.
- Choose the location line alignment.
- Choose the wall type you wish to use.
Voila! Quick, easy and painless! Now just imagine with this info how creative you can get with your wall assembly to make this do just about anything you imagine!
