Color Scheme not printing properly

[Anonymous]

I have created a key plan for my project with a color scheme built in for areas in contract and areas not in contract. I also have these color schemes shown on my enlarged area plans.  Everything shows up fine in my Revit model (see attached image "the way it Should look". But when I print my color scheme covers up everything on my floor plan (see attached "the way it prints".

I have tried setting my color scheme to both background and foreground, nothing changes. I have tried turning onto wireframe and hidden lines. Again nothing changes... I am at a loss as to what to do. Any ideas?!?!

Thanks in advance!

it is hard to tell the difference between the two attached images...can you elaborate?

You can't see any of my walls, model lines, skylight windows, etc through the color scheme on the attach "the way it prints"

can you recreate the error on another workstation or is this error only occuring on this one file and on your station?

I am having the same issues.  I created a color scheme as a test, it works properly in the Revit sheets, but when I print the image the color scheme is in the foreground, blocking all the walls, furniture, etc.  Any assistance regarding this issues would be greatly appreciated.  I also attached a screen shot of the color scheme in Revit on the left and the PDF print on the right.

have you tried printing to a different pdf printer?

have you tried this on another workstation?

is this occurring on only 1 file or any file?

Mine was happening for all workstations.  I have not tried another pdf writer because I am using a work computer and I only have 1 option for a pdf writer. So far this has only happened for this one file because I have not used color schemes in any other project. (Mostly because it doesn't work correctly) I have to use Regions instead.

I most  cases this occurance has to do with the PDF printer driver...(we have 3 pdf printers installed and it always works switching to another)

I would suggest that if can't install a different one and you are able to share the file; someone can maybe try it on a different printer
