Plotting problem - help, please

[Anonymous]

We're trying to plot a set of drawings (our first), and the title blocks,
section tags, dimensions, room tags, etc. print fine, but the building
doesn't show on any of the drawings.

Our plotter is an Oce TS600. The software that feeds the stuff to the
plotter requires that we make plot files, then process them through
ReproDesk software (formerly Apprentice) to create plot files in a format
the plotter can use.

We're generating the plot files using the Windows driver for an HP DesignJet
5500. The plot previews in Revit look fine, but when the files are processed
in the Reprodesk software, the building model isn't visible - just the stuff
I mentioned before.

As I say, we're very new to Revit. What are we doing wrong?

get the OCE drivers for windows, then print to them your plt files. Or you can print directly if you install the oce 9600ps printer drivers for you printer.

If the plot looks correct out of Revit, I would say you are not getting a complete or correct Plot File. I don't think anything in Revit would be causing this issue. Are you currenlty using the same set-up as far as drivers in an AutoCAD Based Application?

Go with the driver updates first.

Good Luck!
