Weird QUALITY issue!

[mohamdtarek10]

Hello Everyone, I hope you having a good day.

I have a really strange problem that when I tried to print  A sheet and everything is ok, The PDF sheet after printig looks really good except one thing, ONE PLAN VIEW is looking bad and blurry you can't even read what is written, while in the same sheet all other plan views and other sections, elevations and even imported shots from another software everything looks just fine except that one angry mad plan view!

-IDK if it may help! but that plan is the main master-plan (Ground Floor)

-This quality is 600 dpi and it looks better when i increase it to for sure but still the differences are clear comparing it with other views.

-Here is an attachment showing the difference between the angry plan view and another view from the same printed sheet.

But it looks okay on the screen? 

[mohamdtarek10]

No it doesn't look good on screen or any where, I attached two pictures,

The first one is another normal veiw which looks good
The second picture is the plan view with the problem

and both of them are in the same sheet!

Looks like the phenom that happens when elements are way, way too far from the Internal Origin of the Project.

I don't think so, because the problem is in the ground floor only, while the first floor and other floors are typically above ground floor for sure and they have the same distance from the origin and they look fine.

Post the file. Lets see if we see what you see. See? 

[mohamdtarek10]

here you go let me see what you see.

[barthbradley]

I want to see the RVT. Also, just attach it to a post. I don't want to jump through all these other hoops to download it.  

[mohamdtarek10]

Can't upload it it's 1GB + I won't post my graduating project for sure, beside my question was simple you don't need the file I already showed you two pictures showing the problem so either you know the solution or not, and it's clearly not, thanks for your effort for helping.

[barthbradley]

SERIOUSLY??? You think somebody ought to be able to diagnose your issue from just these two screenshots?

The second screenshot really concerns me though. That's a pretty nasty-looking discharge. You may want to see a doctor.

Have you checked the Display Options?

There is an option for enabling anti-aliasing which will smooth the jagged lines. I've never seen it look as bad as yours. Try turning off sketch lines in the same dialogue box as well. It doesn't look like the culprit but might be contributing.

The only other thing I can think of is a graphics driver issue. If you're working from home on a domestic/gaming graphics card that might the problem. Try getting acces to a pc with an enterprise level graphics card (AMD Radeon Pro or FirePro, or nVidia Quadro).

Aa @barthbradley said, without seeing the file there's very little for anyone to go on. If you're worried about putting the whole file up, save off a copy and delete any information that isn't relevant to the issue so we can see waht's happening.

It could simply be that the view is corrupted.  Try and duplicate the view (with detailing) and see if that resolves it.  Otherwise, try and create a new view and apply a view template from the view htat is diplaying correctly.

[mohamdtarek10]

I have already tried to duplicate the view with detailing and it didn't work, for the second method you have mentioned i did not understand it how can i create new view?

If I had to guess based on the 2 images, i would say one is being printed at a much higher resolution/paper size than the other one. I sometimes see students turn in stuff like this and that is the most likely culprit. I would verify you are printing to the same sized sheet of paper/PDF and that the quality setting is the same for both prints.

[syman2000]

Do you have a lot of CAD, sketchup or Rhino insert into the plan? Also what how many error message you have in your Revit model.

well Mr. @Lachlan-JWP  your suggestions were not directly the solution but.. you sent me to the place that caused the problem! (( THE DISPLAY OPTION )) & now it's fixed!

Actually in spite of The main shadow dialog at bottom of the screen was off but in the Display Option "Show Ambient Shadow" box was marked for sure BY MISTAKE then I simply unmarked it, then I printed the whole sheet & it was fixed, to make sure I returned and marked it again then I printed the sheet then the problem was back so basically fixing that is unmarking the "Show Ambient Shadow" box.

I say Thank you for helping I wouldn't ever thought about the display option I thought it was something in the printing setup so, thank you again it was nightmare to me.

[mohamdtarek10]

no there are no inserts at all, beside it was fixed it was the ambient shadow in the display option, it was marked on.

[mohamdtarek10]

No sir. 

These two views (pictures) have the same quality setup with 1200 dpi and both of them in the same sheet (paper)
anyway it was fixed as I mentioned in latest reply and it was the ambient shadow.
