I am experiencing an issue where some walls are showing up transparent in my elevation views (see first image). I have tried all of the normal things you would check- V/G settings, Visual Style, filters, Revit Link settings, etc. Also, when I print to PDF (second image), everything looks the way it should. I've installed a new graphics card driver (for NVIDIA Quattro 2200), and turned off hardware acceleration- nothing worked. Does anyone know whether this could be a Revit issue? Thanks!
If it is not Cad causing this,
Check where the elevation is cut (blue line view is tajen from) and try adjusting view depth/clipping. Looks like it might be cutting into the wall?
Thanks for the suggestions- but as you can see from the screenshots, everything looks correct when I print to PDF (the image on the right - that one remaining pipe is supposed to be there). The problem is that the wall appears transparent when in the Revit model. It is more of an irritation rather than something that will cause problems with our final printed documents. I've checked far clipping, and all V/G settings. Does anyone know if this is a software issue?
Are you in a hidden line view?
Do you have a bunch of annotations on the view? If nothing else works, CTRL-C and CTRL-V the notes, delete and recreate the view. A lot of times it is more time and effort effective to just re-create the offending element rather than trying to sort out what is wrong with it.
Rsahay - thank you for the rec but that still did not fix the issue. I HAVE come across the solution you mentioned, but only with 3D views (deleting and creating a new one).
I don't understand why the elevations would be printing perfectly, but be messed up when looking at it within Revit.
Can you share the file?
Assuming you are getting Transparent walls in Elevation, " Elevation A"
1. Create a new elevation " ex: Elevation B" which works and then create a view template using that view and apply to
" Elevation A"
2. you can try applying some existing view template to "Elevation A"
3. if section are showing correct then you can apply " Template of section" to elevation as well..
4. There is a possibility that " Material " applied to those walls is " transparent".. then fix the material for walls.
show us some screenshots of view, and template and am sure someone can help you better.
Cheers!
More than a year later... I had been having this very issue with an external elevation and I noticed what you said about the printed PDF looking fine. I tried turning off hardware acceleration and even purged my unused CAD Imports previously but the transparency issue did not go away until I printed PDF...
From my own experience with this issue the adjustment of my farclip offset made the transparency issue either better or worse beyond that I do not know why the farclip offset would cause that issue.
I just had the same issue today, The elevation looks fine on other computers in the office - so it isn’t the view settings, it isn’t the file, and it happens only in certain views. I want to say its the NAVIDIA card but why is it just happening now, I have had the same card for 6 month, why only certain views? This is driving me crazy. Also, we are hiding certain worksets in the elevation saved view settings, and these still are all visible behind The wall, Autodesk you need to give us a patch for this glitch!
I just had this issue and ToanDn's suggestion worked instantly. I wonder how many dismiss this without even trying . . .
Same thing worked here - just turned off the CAD I had linked in (was being used in plan) and the transparency stopped. Had tried the view template advice etc. and nothing was working. Simple as VG CAD imports off.
