With the Hurricane Sandy hitting the east coast this past year, we have a lot of customers doing more and more reconstruction.  If you have a model of your structure already, you can easily demolish walls or parts so you can redesign and reconstruct.  Here is a video to show the Revit Parts feature for disassembly.

I hope it is helpful.  Feel free to let me know what projects you are working on and how we can help you stay ahead.

Thanks,
Bill
