Urgent!!! Pdf not printing same elements at different locations

Hi Masters!!!

I've gone through many posts in forums but nothing resolves/ I may not understand properly.

Please refer the attachment below, why the heck is happening. All elements shown are in same height.

Thanks in advance.

i have also faced same problem once, looking for right solution.

Which PDF driver/printer are you using and have you tried a different PDF driver/printer to see if that makes a difference?

Is the missing data native Revit items?

Pdf creator and cute pdf writer. I'm using Structural columns as a filler
material (red one)

I came across this Knowledge Base Article ...Fill pattern is missing... that seems to mention the same type of issue that you are experiencing.  This was supposedly corrected in a prior release but they also offer three potential Workarounds.

Thanks @brettgatti ,

But im not using any filled patterns, the red colors are structural column category.

I've had a similar issue on a pdf with a lot of detail - small details were omitted due to too much detail on the drawing. Increasing the DPI helped.

@Anonymous  Increased DPI till 4000, facing the same.

From your original post, it looks like Raster is showing everything (at least I think it does).  Is plotting this view in Raster not an option?  That has always been my fallback when running into printing issues like this (missing items or crashes on certain sheets) where there isn't a clearly defined solution.

@brettgatti, quality of the drawing is not upto the mark while doing so.

[brettgatti]

I agree that the quality can fall off but I have found that there are times that this might be an acceptable workaround - when all else fails.

Hurrey!!!

Resolved!!!  I added a detail component with the red solid fill to the column family that made it to get the result.

Thanks Everyone.

I had this problem as well - this is a joke - the only solution I could find was to print the drawing twice as large...
