Trouble with Invisible Line

Anonymous

I have used the linework tool to change some lines to invisible lines.  Everything looks fine on screen but when printed, the lines show up as a screened hidden line.

Thanks in advance.

Yes they are.  The horizontal one, do not has an angle but the others they do have.

I cut in a height that I see those lines that I am trying to hide.

But this does not happen only with steel elements but everywhere I used Invisible Line.

Have you try masking region to hide those object and see if those line show up in PDF?

I think it is your PDF driver and not Revit issue. Because I use adobe and Bluebeam, it won't have that issue. So you may want to try another PDF output like

 

CutePDF - https://www.cutepdf.com/index.htm

PDFforge - https://www.pdfforge.org/

BullZip - https://www.bullzip.com/

I use <Invisible line> for the braces too. It works properly. Your issue must be on PDF exporter as the others say
