View printing overlapping

Hi all!

today i run into a problem while i sent the printing of a sheet, as you can see in the sheet in revit everything is okay, but when i print it disappear both of the 2 3D views insert before (is the only sheet where this happen).

The question is: is there a way to manage the overlapping in the sheet?

That's certainly odd behavior. Your views seem to have been placed in order for it to work but I just wanted to make sure. Did you place the plan on the sheet before you placed the 3D views? Revit prints views in the order they were dropped onto the sheet (i.e. the last view that you drop onto your sheet will be above all others.) Also what version of Revit are you running? This previous post could be of use to you.

I'm running Revit2016 on my workstation, and yes i put the 3D views after placing the plan on the sheet (plan first).

Alright. Have you attempted alternating printing as Raster in your print settings and seeing how that looks? And then switching back to Vector printing? I've heard that this can work for some people. Also in terms of asking your question about reordering viewports, typically the 'go to'  answer is that views cannot be reordered once they are placed on a sheet. They are simply ordered by the order in which you drop them on the sheet. 

 

But I did come across an online in which someone developed a script to reorder the draw order of views on a sheet like you're requesting. Have a look:

Are the colors and hatch pattern in th floor plan from the materials or Color Scheme?

they come from materials, nothing in the view comes from color scheme/hatches.
I would remind you that this is the only sheet that gives this problem, I have other sheets that work exactly in the right way as they has to work

I would create a new sheet and place copies of these view on see if it prints correctly.

Right! it works well but not enough, the axes from the view which is under the 3D view are still visible over the 3D view, even if i create a crop on the plan view to fit the 3D

Right.  Grid lines (or axes per your description) are annotation objects and always stay on top of model objects.

 

Maybe you should create four dependent views from that floor plan view and arrange them around a hole, where your 3D view is.  That will make sure nothing overlapping any other things.
