    Default Objects not printing in interior elevations

    I am having a problem in my interior elevations where lines of objects are not showing up. For instance, a free standing bathtub will show the sides, but not the top. Also I want the crop box for the elevation view to print. Anyone have any ideas? I need to plot 11 sheets tomorrow and right now they look awfull.

    There are categories of objects that do not "cut" so that might account for your bathtub issue. Those objects appear as though they are viewed in elevation instead of section. Check to make sure your Elevation cut is placed where it generates the optimal view. Also make sure it is looking "far" enough forward to show what you want. Then again, it might just be the family you are using, how it was made and/or the shape of the tub is such that the curve doesn't display well. You can sketch a detail line in that view to fix it.

    Regarding crop regions, there is a setting in Print Setup that you can tell Revit to plot them, they are off by default. Just plot your interior elevations separately so you can toggle them on and not affect your other sheets/views.

    If you want your crop region to "pop" you might consider making a "donut" filled region that surrounds the view. This way you can specify a nice heavy line along the cut of the view and then use invisible lines at the perimeter so there is no edge. Extra work but you get a much nicer frame.

    I think I know what you are experiencing.
    Some of our 3d objects, especially those which have an edge created by curved void geometry, won't show linework or diaply patchy linework along the affected edge.

    I assume this is a fault in the program. The only workaround I can think of is to build some linework into the family to show in elevation only.
