Masking Region in Legend does not mask when printing

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I have a masking region in a legend placed over a view on a sheet. 

When printing, the masking region will hide model geometry but not filled regions in the view. 

Any ideas on this?

I am using Revit 2016. I have tried printing using Adobe Acrobat and CutePDF. Using a symbol-annotation masking region in the legend will not work for me as this will hide filled regions and detail lines in my legend. I am currently solving this by drawing a masking region in every view under the legend, but I'm hoping to solve this within the legend.

Many thanks,

Ellen

Hey there.

When you say a "filled region", you`re talking about some filled pattern or the tool filled region?
Because if you have any filled region and a mask region together, you have to select the filled region and Send to back or select the mask region and Bring to front.

Hi, 

when I  say "filled region" I mean a hatch region in a view. 

I have a filled region in a plan view on a sheet. The view covers the whole sheet. I place a legend view over the view on the sheet. Even though I have a masking region in my legend the filled region in the view behind prints. Below screenshot highlights the legend view (Acrobat pdf-print). The plan view behind it has a filled region (diagonal hatch).

Many thanks,

Ellen

It seems to work here.  The circle area is a Filled Region in the floor plan view.  The highlighted rectangle is a Masking Region in the Legend view.

Hi Toan, 

Yes, it looks fine when viewing it in Revit, but when I print using Adobe Acrobat or CutePDF it doesn't work anymore. 

Many thanks,

Ellen

Sounds like a bug.  But you can fix it.  Instead of a masking region, draw a filled region with solid pattern and 254,254,254 color (do not use white).
