Toposolid PDF Export Triangulation Visible

[Joey_JM]

When creating a Toposolid with materials that contain solid surface patterns, colour can now be included in a hidden line view such as a site plan.

Previously, this wasn't possible with Toposurfaces. However, when exporting to pdf, the surface triangulation is visible. It is quite distracting for on-screen presentations.

Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions for Vector-only output? ...and without post-production outside Revit

Thanks @barthbradley, missed that post. I had searched for "toposolid" and "triangulation" but not "folding lines". Will continue discussion there.

same issue here, any solution?

Unfortunately, no. The only options were to use raster or shaded visual style combined with smooth shading.  However neither of these are acceptable for me. My "workaround" is to minimise the number of points and significantly lighten the surface pattern colour to reduce the contrast. However many would also deem these as unacceptable compromises. Otherwise colourise your plans with fill regions or use area plans. It really depends on what your needs are i suppose.
