can't print transparency from floor plan in revit 2013???

Just came across this issue today: it appears transparency overide (by element or by category) won't be printed from any floor plan views in Revit 2013. Tried elevation/ section/ ceiling plans. all ok. it seems to me that is a bug. anyone out there having the same issue? or I just simply missed something?

 

The work around is to switch the view to wireframe. but not ideal anyway...

 I'm still having this problem in Revit2014. Also, the link suggested by TroppoSA seems to no longer be available.

 Autodesk, do you know when the problem might be solved?

 

Thanks in advance,

Marian

From what I have found, the original issue described should be resolved with Update 3 (for Revit 2013).

 

If you are seeing this with the 2014 version you could be seeing a regression or it may be a different issue with similar symptoms.

 

If you can reproduce the behavior in a new (small) project, it would be useful to get a copy of the project and a Screencast video showing the steps you are going through with the file.

I'm seeing the same issue in 2015 - if I set it to Raster it's fine but not Vector.. .

......which makes sense, since transparency is a Raster-related function.

Helpful as always Cliff.  

 

Have you bothered to read the rest of this thread?

Looking back at the original issue described, I am not seeing this occurring in the 2016 version:

  1. Download Project1.rvt (provided by TroppoSA).
  2. Open in Revit 2016.
  3. Print Level 1 (Vector Processing)
  4. Wall underneath transparent desk is visible in resulting PDF (attached).

 

I suspect that you are seeing a different issue (with similar symptoms).

 

If you got through the steps above, do you get a different result?

Hello Lance,

 

I am still having the same issue with TOPO in Revit 2016.

 

I opened a new project.

Crated a Topo.

Imported an image (it was a sat image in the original file)

Overridden topo to have transparency.

Went to plot with vector

Got PDF with topo not being transparent.

 

Please help and refer to attached files. I ve exported the image instead of screenshot.

 

Much appreciated
