Custom Renovation Statuses

[Laszlo Nagy]

The purpose of my wish is to be able to achieve any combination of visibility based on Renovation Filters.

Currently, we have 3 built-in Renovation Statuses in ARCHICAD: Existing, To be Demolished and New.

This system should be extended to include any number of custom phases such as Temporary 1, 2, 3, Phase 1, 2, 3, etc.
It is a simple step to be able to have as many Phases, but it would greatly improve renovation workflows.

(The other two big related items are: Reno Statuses for all element types and Skin-level Reno Statuses for Composites/Complex Profiles, but those are covered in other wishes.)

There are two distinct variants here. I think Lazlo's suggestion works with design options e.g. elements are quite distinct, whereas this posts https://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=63028 refers to properly phased development e.g. a snapshot of progress at any particular time. I don't see that the Renovation filter system needs to work any different than it is now. The introduction of a timeline would for me occasionally be helpful, but much like the rest of the BIM data, it will place an additional optional requirement on the user to enter element creation & removal time data which AC would then need to manage, I assume through an extension to the renovation filter settings e.g "Show proposed" with date less than 14 November 2018.
