Hi, I'm trying to print these two PDF views. The plan view prints nicely and fits the A3 page, but the roof plan doesn't. Why does this happen and how can I fix it?Screenshot 2023-12-20 134056.pngScreenshot 2023-12-20 134105.png

my first guess would be to check the scale of your views.... if you're printing both views on the same size sheet, make sure the view scale (bottom Left of your view) is the same.

Hmmmm.... sometimes there are families in the view the that have unseen items in them that cause their range to be larger than they should. this could push the view to think its larger than it is. 

 

I had this recently happen to me with our Graphics Scale. it has 20+ different scales in it all controlled by visibility settings. a couple of the scales are larger than the others and if the scale is placed too close to the edge of a border it pushes the view to the side and makes the sheet print wrong. To find these I usually go into the Move command and place a selection window way off to the side and then start dragging it sword my main items. eventually it will hit something and should highlight the object.

Is the view placed on a sheet in Revit or are you printing the view directly?

Are you printing Current Window?

What are the print settings you are using? Are you using Zoom = 100% or Fit to Page?

I'm printing the view directly  and I don't have this problem with any other view, they all printed correctly to fit the A3 page. These are the settings:

For some reason now it's centered at least but still there is a lot of white space on the pageScreenshot 2023-12-21 085619.png

Put the Views on a A3-sized Sheet and Print.

Thank you for this! My scope box was large, and therefore, my print on that sheet was smaller to accommodate the scope box.
