REVIT 2020 Printing Sheet with Title Block Off-center

Anonymous
Not applicable

Good Afternoon,

    I recently created a title block and project template.  The sheet with the title block was printing fine while testing the project template.  I am doing a test project on Revit to work out the kinks with the project template.  One of those kinks is printing the sheet.  It prints off center.  Is there anyway I can fix this without starting the process over?

 

Thank you

Make sure you do not have anything outside of the sheet border. If you must have something, for example some text or a view, put them outside but they must be on the right side and above the bottom of the border. Then, set you print to Zoom = 100%, Offset from corner = No Margin.

At this time there are no items outside the sheet.  I have been checking for invisible lines and have not been able to find any.

Your TB family looks fine but there definitely something invisible in one of the views that is outside of the border, the reason you seen that much of space outside the TB when you zoom extent. Activate those views and check.

Last post.  I could not find anything in Revit after turning on all layers through the Visibility Graphics, clicking on the reveal hidden elements icon (light bulb) and show hidden line button (in the ribbon).  I was able to export the file to Autocad and found that there was something outside.

How do I turn off or delete this box?  See attached screenshot of Autocad.

 

Thanks for all your help!

I had this problem this morning and it turned out that my issue was that I was using a Generic Annotations Family for my general notes on my cover page. It was that family that caused the titleblock to print off center. The purpose of using the family for my notes was that when the building departments request new notes, I edit the family then resave it. I bring that family in and overwrite it for each project to make sure I have the most current set of notes. It usually works fine but not today. I simply copied the text from the family pasted into paper space, then deleted the family and it works fine now. Here is a picture of the family selected. To @ToanDN 's point, I believe that it may be the "grip" on the family that was throwing it off as that is the only thing outside of the printable area even though it isn't visible until selected.
