Anyone who has developed a custom remodel residential project can tell you its not as simple, clean, or intuitive as a custom new construction residential project. build your as-built model in the existing phase. The model builder is going to have to do partial demolition of walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, etc.

Using Revits 2D Drafting tools: Because beginners are not completely familiar with all of Revits tools and because they are often faced with a deadline, beginners will likely rely on detail lines and filled regions to piece together plans, sections, and elevations for their first few projects. The Revit 3D model is just a place to start.

Always Be Phase Aware In every project file your modeled components have a phase created and a phase demolished parameter whether you like it or not. If you place a model component in a view that is set to the New Construction phase (under View Properties), that component automatically gets placed in the New Construction phase.

Some food for thought: Could it (read that as "it will") be better to let the walls be modeled as they will be built (with dead spaces in between), rather than using in-place walls that simply mimic old methodologies, like CAD or Hand drawn lines filled with poche or hatching? It is more suited to a model that is about graphics.
