Graphic Overrides Not Displaying Correctly in Vector PDF Export

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing an issue with graphic overrides in Revit when exporting to PDF using vector processing. I have set up graphic overrides for walls and floors, and they appear correctly in both the Revit view and the raster PDF output

However, when I try exporting to PDF using vector processing, the result is different

Here, the floor lines are visible even where the walls are placed.
I've also attached the revit file where I've reproduced this behaviour.


Has anyone else encountered this problem? Are there any known workarounds or settings adjustments I can make to fix this issue? I need to use the vector output from pdf and cannot use the raster one.

I think this is a know issue with Vector printing and there are plenty of support topics on it as below;

some wall lining instances not showing in PDF print - Autodesk Community - Revit Products

Incorrect display of intersecting lines or overlapping during vector printing in Revit (autodesk.com...

 

 

from Reviewing I can only think they there is a priority order with Vector Printing and the Floor Colour is the ruling value here as when changing the Wall Cut Line to say 4 to have a bigger impact you can still see the Floor Grey Boundary Line through it so so it seems Vector prints Top down with the lowest item printing last and Raster Bottom up.

However this can be Solved by using the "Region Edges Mask Coincident Lines" option in the Print Setup
