3D wall pattern plotting issue
Clearly walls "B & C" is a graphics issue. I'm not sure what type of graphics card you have, but update it with the latest driver from the vendor's website. In regards to plotting them, try adjusting your plot settings by setting Raster Processing & Raster Quality to High.
UPDATE:
If this doesn't work, try adjusting your plotter settings instead by increasing the quality.

Updated drivers (NVidia Quadro K2200 fyi). No effect on the B & C issue.
Tried raster on plotting. Trippled the PDF size and dropped some of the other panels.
The screens disappear when I zoom out so it's some issue with something choosing what to render based on density to prevent hatches from going solid.
There better be a way to adjust this or turn it off.
The isometric stands 16" tall on the sheet. The PDF printer is currently set at 600 dpi. That's a total of 9600 pixels vertically. So I tested at the PDF printer's maximum resolution of 4000 dpi, or 64,000 vertical pixels.
It still drops the flat screens but all the curved ones rendered. It's not the resolution or the printer.
Our security bot thinks cutepdf is a virus and their executable has unknown publisher so I tried Adobe (we use Bluebeam) on a colleague's machine.
It still dropped some panels.
Notice it didn't render the outline of the spiral stair's handrail either. I can't even see the handrail's edges on my screen.
The panels render fine in elevation by the way. I think the problem is Revit is not sending the panels to the printer so it wouldn't matter what pdf printer I used. I'll still get the same results.
It may have worked for you with cuteftp but remember you're only working with a 3 MB excerpt, not the whole project. The flat panels in the full model are not visible on my screen no matter how far I try to zoom in to the sheet. I didn't have this problem with the excerpt probably because it doesn't include the 497 MB of the rest of the project. I don't know what else I can do besides fake it with some 2D graphics which is going to waste a lot of my time.
I am not sure what the issue is, but I was able to get a PDF with all of the "screen" around the stair using CutePDF. I think the issue is on the PDF creation side rather than the Revit side. I was using Revit 2017 and I think your file upgraded when I opened so perhaps that is the issue? Maybe try printing it with 2017 and see if that yields better results.
The weird vertical lines on the cage go away when i zoom in and it looks fine.
I printed in 2016. Using vector processing I lost panels like you are seeing. Switched to use raster processing and all the panels printed. I am not sure if someone already suggested raster processing earlier in the thread, but you can try that.
I've come full circle back to the way things were printing when this all started. Thank you.
It did this to the whole sheet, even on raster with quality set to high. I can't imagine this being acceptable to anyone.
I also tried DWG. It dropped all the panels.
