3D Cylinder Plots Solid Black

We use basic 3D objects and blocks to create simple pipe layouts. I have had it before where one section of pipe may print out as solid black but usually it means I have another solid on top it. I delete it and it prints out normally.

 

This time it is MULTIPLE sections that are coming up solid. It is always a straight piece of pipe (cylinder). Also, when I plot the isometric view it prints out normally.

 

I have tried making a new cylinder, using an extruded circle instead of the cylinder, different layers, different print settings and everything else I could think of. But I cannot figure it out. My only other thought is that it could be something with my PDF viewer (Adobe). Any help is appreciated!

Extrude a circle using surface instead of solid would it help?

You should play with DISPSILH to set to 1 and ISOLINES, that I often put to 0.

Tell us if it helps.
