Area Fill Patterns Missing On Print - RAC 2011

[myBIMhero]

When plotting area plan views, parts are missing color. We are getting odd shaped white out in certain areas when plotting to PDF or print. It looks fine in the view and the print preview. It has also changed to different shapes/areas/sizes when plotted a second time. You can see the wite triangular areas within the color on the attached PDF's. Thanks.

Sometimes the algorithm that does the color fill just flat out screws up, but we've found in the vast majority of cases, there's something funny with your Walls or Room Separation Lines.

Partly because of that (but mostly just because it's easier to work in it), we have a Room Separation View that has nothing but Wall, Doors, Columns, Rooms, Room Interior Fill, and Room Separation Lines turned on. And the RS lines are big, fat, and orange. Makes it really easy to tell when Lines and Walls overlap, or Rooms are not bound, or multiple Rooms are in one area.

One thing that really messed up the Color Plans was... Oh, it'll be easier to show you a picture.
Ended up having to make that wall NOT Room Bounding.

wow!! what a thoughtful reply - thanks! I will have a look at the file. Apparantly it was setup by someone years ago and worked fine then this started. I will follow your advice and see what i can find. Thanks again.

You might also try using Raster print setting in lieu of Vector.

That is an official response that I have recieved from the factory in the past. They acknowledge that this is a 'bug'
