Semi-transparent filled region not working when placed on sheet

[cholden]

I have several enlarged plans that have a semi-transparent solid white filled region over part of them. They work just fine when looking at them in the view. When placed on the sheet though they aren't transparent. The settings are still 30% transparent. It just won't show correctly. All views are set to Architectural discipline (switching to Coordination discipline doesn't fix it) and hidden line. I've tried changing hardware acceleration settings. I can get a fresh 2016 file to work so it seems to be an issue with this file. I've tried it on multiple computers. It was upgraded from a earlier version of Revit.....which could be the problem....

In the image below the view is on the left and the view on sheet is on the right. Any ideas?

version : 2016 w/SP2

have you tried display order set to background?

Sending it backward or bringing it to the front does nothing.

It's showing properly in the view itself when looked at via the project browser and not on a sheet. Something is happening to the visibility graphics when viewed on the sheet.

To clarify my original post I'm using override by element to set the transparency. I also set up a filter and it won't work on the sheet either.....

i built a generic model and used a masking region with a visibility override set by element transparency to 65 percent.  it shows properly on the sheet and the view.

try removing the filter you created in the view or sheet first

Dzanta - I did the exact same thing. In my original post I mentioned that I also built a separate fresh 2016 model to test it and it worked just fine. The problem is I couldn't get it to work in my project file.  I removed the filter as well as deleted the filled region + recreated it. I've also removed the views from the sheet and replaced them.

SOLUTION: I just remade one of the views. It works in the new freshly made view. Hopefully there's not too much work to redo.....SIGH. I hate it when the solution is redo a bunch of work.

[dzanta]

what about creating a view template and importing/exporting that to a new view so you don't have to redo everything?

I have view templates set up for the views already.  

As a last option I reset the crop boundary to a square shape. That seemed to be the problem. A sketched crop boundary prevented the filled region from being transparent.

Wow, thanks for the solution, the sketched crop boundary was the problem!  Autodesk! Why does this happen???

The same for me, after resting the crop boundary problem disappeared. 

Thanks a lot for that!!!
