Transparency override not printing - Revit 2017

[wesley.gross]

Has anyone had trouble with the transparency override not printing?

I have overridden the transparency of topography in a linked model to 100%. Everything appears fine on my screen, but when I go to print, both with adobe and bluebeam, the topography prints solid. What's strange is this issue appears to have begun overnight. I printed straight to an actual printer and got the same result, which leads me to believe it is not a pdf writing glitch.

Thanks

Try "cut to clipboard"-"paste aligned to same place" trick. In many cases, I saw that it overcomes bugs 🙂

Maybe you should send a small part of the file. Delete everything except the topography and send it.... See if other people have the same problem when printing using their computers.... Cause if they have problems, most probably the problem is in the file and maybe they will be able to help. If they don't have problems, you will know that this is caused by something else which is also a good information.

Hi @wesley.gross

Also, can you confirm if you have the latest updates?

To make sure that the issue you are seeing is not something already fixed in one of the product updates, I would suggest checking the Desktop App to see if there are any Revit updates available. For information on using the Desktop App see the following article: About the Autodesk Desktop App

Note: If you are not able to download updates through the Desktop App, the following article has information on downloading updates through the Autodesk Accounts page:

Thanks @Ilic.Andrej. That did work, though the ultimate solution was just to properly phase the building pads so that the topography didn't need to be overridden.
