Revit not printing jpg image on site plan

I cannot get Revit to print the jpg background satellite image that is part of my site plan. Raster printing does not help. As a test I placed a random png image on a floor plan view in the same project and that prints fine, even with the same site plan View Template as I am using in the site plan that does not print the jpg.

 

I have tried on another project, which is working fine.

Try creating another Site Plan View.

I did as a test using an existing site plan view with the same image and it worked. But this does not help my proposed site plan sheet. I need that sheet to print its image.

so, you are saying that you created another site plan view and it worked fine?  

 

If so, sounds like the view may be corrupted. It happens. Try closing and re-opening the Project with Audit checked.

I just found that the white filled region with 50% transparency override is hiding the image. When I Element Hide the Filled Region then I do get the image printed. So this is now an issue with the FR transparency not translating as transparent when printing.

Fill patterns have been changed between 2019 and earlier. Now they have foreground and background fills/patterns to deal with. Edit the type and share what they are.

Changing the printer setting from Vector to Raster will usually fix it, I believe. :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht:

Hi,
Please see my attached image for reference. Not sure why Autodesk is
messing with a perfectly good feature like Filled Regions, but now I'm lost
on the subject.
FG pattern = solid
FG pattern color = white
BG pattern = nothing
BG pattern color = black

Why is the a FG and BG now for FRs?

Thank you,
Micah

I tried it and it doesn't help. The issues has changed from that of the
image to that of a 50% transparency filled region I have over the image to
tone down the graphics. Even though it is 50% it is printing 100% opaque. I
have been informed there are new settings for Filled Regions for 2019. I do
not understand these new settings.

Sorry to hear that, I understand that the mix of image, filled region, and masking region will never work properly.

Personally, I hate dealing with these issues, when the raster printing not working, I would rather go to photoshop and halftone the image.  Good luck.

So Autodesk has "something new" to justify the price increase.  What else?  Kind of like "New Tide" detergent. :zwinkerndes_Gesicht:

I just tested and print to raster works with a Filled region with solid white background set to 50%.  See attached files.

@micah: what did you end up doing differently at your end?  Did Autodesk fix?

I switched to Raster, which I thought I had done previously. Also I set FG and BG to solid fill, white color, where BG color was black previously. But it was using Raster that solved it. Any downside to raster printing? I thought vector created smoother, un-pixelated linework, as opposed to raster.

Yes, I told you I was printing via Raster as well. 

 

FWIW: the way you had it set up -- with no Background  -- is fine.  It would make no difference with 1 or 2 solid white fills.  I'd just leave it set the way you had it.
