Printing - Region Edges Mask Coincident lines?

LisaDrago — Thu, 31 Oct 2013 14:01:16 GMT

Okay - so I am teachnig a class on Revit and I see a new check box in the setup dialog box for printing...

What exactly does this mean?

I did go to help and this is what it says: "Region edges mask coincident lines. Select this option if you want the edges of masking regions and filled regions to cover lines with which they coincide. (This option is available only if the Vector Processing option is enabled.)"

Yeah - that still isn't clicking in my brain.. (it has been an off day for me already.. )

So - what are you all know about this? Image attached for reference...

Lisa,

This allows you to control Masking and Filled Regions and how they work with lines that their edges touch. The easiest way to explain it is the two attachments.

The edges of the Regions either allow for the lines to plot over top or not to plot over top.

Hope this helps you.

I read somewhere on the interwebs that this worked with crop regions as well, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
