MISSING RANDOM STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS DURING PRINT

WREdonc

Structural Revit 2024 (and some in 2023) does not print or export modeled elements consistently. In the attached file the screen shot from Revit shows accurately and completely all the foundation elements (below the slab).  However the output whether printed or exported, randomly eliminates modeled elements. The only consistency is that it excludes (randomly) only those elements under a surface like a slab in this case.

It looks like these would be hidden lines below the Slab, please review this Autodesk Knowledge Base reference

Thank you for getting back to me as you did. The article shown above does not address my concern and the raster "workaround" causes more problems than it solves. Raster is a rendering tool and causes the hatch elements to act opaque, blocking out my framing below. There are other concerns as well. My original post was to point out that the vector option has changed recently and now RANDOMLY omits structural elements in the model. Meaning some appear while others do not? My hope was that they would restore the vector capabilities in the 2022 revit.

There has been a few post on here recently as regards visibility with Structural Models/Templates and elements not showing correctly such as your issue;

 

It may be worth opening a Support Case directly with Autodesk to escalate this further.  Keep us updated.

Check the View Properties palette and ensure that the view discipline is set to Structural and that the Show Hidden Lines setting is set to either By Discipline or All as required.

However to contradict this on one model Setting the Discipline to Coordination worked instead which was very confusing!!!
