Revit is printing differently than it is shown on the view

Hey All! 

 

I do not really know if it is a bug or something else. Generally the problem is about that, what is Revit printing is not the same as inside the Revit. To give example, I got a following case:

 

Here, it is shown what is inside Revit:

Here(the same place)it is what is printed:

Here is the difference:

I am going to give a little more detail how the model is built, as it could be important to this problem:

- First, a "structural model" with walls is being created;

- Then, "structural model" is being linked to another model - "architectural model". Inside the "architectural model", in the same place as the walls from structural, walls from architectural model are being placed(and they have the Fire Rating RED hatch).

 

So basically, we always have two wall elements. One from structural model(which is a link) and another one from architectural model in the same place - so "wall inside a wall". 

 

It was always working correctly, and suddenly in a few places it is printing differently. It would be ok if it was like this in the whole model, but it is not - just in a few places.

 

Did anybody encounter a similar problem?

What is the View's Detail Level?  Wireframe or Hidden? 

 

Also, Raster or Vector Processing?

Hey barthbradley! Thanks for answering. 

 

View Detail Level is Fine - this is what you meant?

 

Raster or Vector processing - I guess you meant how it was printed? I tried both.

Have you tried it with a different printer?

Hey! Thanks for answer :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht:

 

Yes! I tried it with a few printers and the result is the same. So the same walls are not printing correctly.

This is why it is weird...

what version of Revit and what printer? 

 

Try the built-in printer (Export to PDF)

Revit version: R2025.4

as barth said, check wireframe. that one is sneaky when printing.

 

I would also suggest not showing two sets of walls in your view that are in the same place. It might be something that can be solved by worksets of what is or is not loaded into your models. Having a workset in the Struc model called Walls or ARCH elements or something would allow you to not have that linked in or at least not visible in most views.

 

If you dislike the workset method, you can hide the walls from the structural model with a filter or with by revit links tab in the visibility graphics for the view.

Hey guys! Found a work around it - if I set transparency of this wall to even 1% - it prints normally. In that manner I guess that the problem was with the printer itself.
