Hello all,
I have been trying to figure this out for a few hours now, but I am wondering how to get a filled region to become transparent when printed on a sheet. I have a site plan that I imported as a JPEG. into a drafting view in Revit. I needed to color it, so I added filled regions in the areas where I need color. I made everything transparent so that I could still see the site plan underneath my filled regions. When I place it on a sheet to be printed to a PDF, everything appears as normal. My regions are transparent and I can see my site plan underneath all of my colors (see attached photo). But after I print the PDF, the JPEG. site plan disappears and my filled regions suddenly became solid (see second photo). Is this a PDF writer/printing problem? Or a Revit problem?
Thank you,
Gabe Morrell

Can be how it is send to the (PDF) printer. Try to set it, in revit print settings, to raster processing and see if you get the expected result.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
Problem #1 = jpg disappears
Problem #2 = transparant detail regions become opaque.
Why do you think the regions became opaque? Once the jpg disappears there is nothing to show through the yellow region, so how can you determine it is opaque anyway? The gray region obviously still shows the line passing beneath it.
Hi Chrisplyler,
I know that it's definitely an opaque issue. If I were to hide one of the filled regions the JPEG. of the site plan shows up in the spot where the filled region is hidden. I have a line drawn over the gray area since I can move that to the front.

In my case, the problem was edited Crop Region.
After resetting it to default rectangular shape it works OK!!
this is the issue , actually previous drawing i never encounter this.. only now
right side (sheet)---- Left side (layout).. As you can see On layout ACMV and other walls are transparent but when i transfer to sheet.. all transparent was removed... Question is Why?????
