Lines overlapping - pdf

[borcheva]

Hello!

Is there any way to avoid the overlapping lines (for example - walls in black and rot) in pdfs?

In Revit it looks good, exactly what I want.

I've also tried different pdf printers, that didn't solve the thing.

Thank you in advance!

Anastasia.

Can you elaborate - the only difference that I can see is that the second image has thinner lines.  Try press TL (thin lines) in Revit to show the actual line thickness.

Hi,

thanks for the answer.

In the screenshot it's already with the actual thickness.

I've attached here the pdf file - so as you can see, there's the overlapping - the red edge of the thin wall is above the black line of the load-bearing wall.

I wish here but the black line above the red line - so I see it in Revit.

Can you confirm the scale of the drawing and the thickness of the thin wall?

It might help to reduce the lineweight of the common edges.

Hi,

I've tried to make the black lines thicker, so it looks on the paper a little better.

In pdf you still can see these red overlapped lines, that may not be as dramatic anymore and I can neglect (but dont want :)) this perfectionism.

The attached pdf is in the scale (1:50 metric), black (load-bearing) lines are 0,4 mm and red (not load-nearing) are 0,05 mm.

The only wasteful way to get rid of these overlapped lines, as I see, is to make these edges invisible with the Linework Tool...

Hard to tell what you are referring to, but if I were to zoom in tightly on any overlapping linework in one of our PDFs, I would be disappointed too.  It is an issue at "normal" scale?  Can you discern "the forest for the trees"?

The black line ... is that the boundary of the grey filled region? If yes, then there could be several ways to resolve that over printing... example:

- you could try setting it as masking

- or you could overlay the region over the plan (2 separate views) on the sheet instead of in the same view
