since the changing of how transparency works (i think in 2013) my Electrical views haven't looked correct. i used to hit the check boxes for half-tone and transparency for things like plumbing fixtures and air terminals. so now in my view template, i turn those categories to 100% transparent, and am not getting the same effect. this used to make my lights take precedence, they would overwrite the diffuser and toilet lines, but now a diffuser adjacent to a light overwrites my light fixture line as a thin line. am i doing it wrong, or does transparency just not work anymore? i also went and looked at the mechanical view, and my lights are overwriting his diffusers in the M view. seems it's defaulting to do the exact opposite of what we want. anyone else having issues with this? all these MEP elements are in one model, but i'm seeing the same thing with some linked arch elements and structural column lines.
it shouldn't be a problem when printing to pdf, because bluebeam has a merge lines feature that fixes this, but when i plot to our new kip plotter, it looks like it does on the screen, there isn't a merge setting in their drivers.
