Print sketchy plan to PDF on Titleblock

I am using Revit LT 2016.  When I print from the 1/4" plan view, the sketchy lines for the walls appear and look great, but when I go to the title-block to  print the same plan the sketchy lines for the walls do not appear.  

 

I should note that there is one view that I can print to pdf from the title-block and that is the site plan.  The  view is at scale 1:40 and the sketchy lines print great.  I would love to be able to use this same effect for the rest of my plans and print directly from the titleblock.

Have you tried changing the scale of the plan view and seeing what effect (visually) this has when viewed on a Sheet (ie on a titleblock family)?

Kind regards,
Ian

Hi @Anonymous

 

Can you share some screenshots from the Revit preview and PDF prints?

Which PDF printer do you use and have you tried this with other PDF printers?

 

Regards,

Thanks, but I tried changing the scale, but it didn't change the outcome.

I believe that you can only print Raster with Sketchy Lines enabled.

So be sure you have Raster selected instead of Vector.

Thank you for you help.  I have tried using Raster and using Vector and I have used PDF 995 and Adobe PDF.   I have also tried using color, gray, and black.   

 

I have uploaded a pdf of what it looks like when I create a pdf from the titlesheet.  The view on my screen looks 'sketchy' but when I print it, all the walls are missing (see pdf).

 

I also have uploaded a pdf of what it looks like  when I print a pdf straight from the view, which looks great.  I just can't figure out why it will not create a pdf with these 'sketchy' lines on a titleblock. 

 

Thanks for you help!

Thank you but I tried this also but it still prints the pdf without the walls.  Let me know if you think of anything else.

Does the view have a custom crop region?

Hi @Anonymous

 

Can you send us the file to investigate? I can share a private upload folder for you.

Yes it does!!  I just removed the custom crop region and it now prints the walls on the title-block!  Wow that's great! Thank you!!!

Thank you for your willingness to help but we just figured out that it was the custom crop region that was not allowing it to print to pdf in sketchy mode!!
