I have a defined surface in a file. The surface has points and breaklines. In this file there is a title block and the surface prints with only contours showing as the surface style dictates.
When I xref this file into another all appears fine. The surface shows the contours as defined in the xref's style. I set up a title block in the new file and all appears fine. If I set the page layout to display the plot style all is fine.
When I print the triangle magically appear. Doesn't matter f I print to a plotter or pdf. Triangles are turned off in the surface style. There are no other surfaces in either file. The triangles have colors assigned that I suspect are from a surface analysis but the surface has no analysis defined either.
Anyone see anything like this before?

Hey Tim. Thanks for replying.
We are using 2015, SP2. I can reproduce this in a new template with only this one dwg as the xref. It's just this one file. Revovered, purged, clean. As soon as I xref it into any file I get the behavior above.
Waiting til the end of week for SP3 to see if any issues pop up here.
What are you seeing with other objects?

OK so the source file has a surface definition. This definition also has a polyface mesh added to it that I did not notice. The layer is turned off in this source file. Many user here don't like the vpfreeze command...
When the file is xrefed into another file the mesh layer remains off but this setting is not honored in any viewport. So I was not seeing the surface tin lines and all I had to do was vpfreeze the mesh layer....
Possible bug with polyface meshes not honoring layer on/off in a viewport when xrefed.
