    Detail Items and Phasing

    I was wondering if anyone has created detail items with some kind of "phasing" element built into them. We currently have different line types set up in some of our Detail Item families for Demo, Existing and New and the person who created them is using yes/no parameters to show the different linetypes. If there is text in the family, that is stacked and using yes/no parameters as well.

    I was hoping to find a BETTER way to do this. What are you using if anything?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Are these actually parts of a detail? Like a Detail Component for Brick joint? Or is this being used for annotation purposes?
    For the annotation I'm using different tag types, which extract the relevant information from each family. I'm trying to keep as much "I" in my BIM as I can . It's hard to keep track and control of the text within a large number of detail components.

    For the Detail Components that are details I use different colours like you, but use keynotes for any text notes.

      I've done it in a project by adding a yes/no project parameter and a filter but have never created a specific family / sub-category for it.

        These detail components are being used in Electrical One-Lines and I am currently developing families for Mechanical Piping Schematics and was hoping there was a better way of doing it than having 3 different "lines" stacked on top of each other with yes/no parameters for visibility.

          Use a filter. You can use a project parameter or add a shared parameter. The attached file uses a shared parameter but the project param is the same theory.

          This might be a giant kludge but it works without too much effort.

            Thanks Chad, I don't know why I didn't think of that and I like it better than the way that is currently being used.
