I am hoping someone is familiar with this problem . . ergo, there is a quick and easy fix . . .

On the attached pdf, the fascia was made as a mass object which looks fine in Revit on screen but when I print it shows up transparent!

Hoping for some help

Duh! How 'bout that attachment then . . . sorry!

Show mass is selected on your view? You can override the view on screen to show mass, but you must select the mass box on the view properties for it to show on the print.

Thanks for the reply Ski, its kind of wierd to me! I did all of that and everything looks fine on the drawing layout - but if I print or preview it shows up like the pdf!

I just tried the raster option and that works fine! It must be something to do with the vector I guess! But raster always looks fuzzy to me so I would like a vector solution . . . .

Have you defined the material of the mass - the default mass material has some transparency to it, could that be it?

Jan, I have then as timber. I don't know if there is another setting?? In every view except printing they look solid . ..

Jan, I can't get it below 4MB! Thats just one wall and the fascia mass! Will dig deeper and see if I missed anything later.
