Major new printing improvements in R9

[Wes Macaulay]

We have a design where a curve-top extruded roof joins a flared mansard roof (think Parisian architecture). In R8.1 elevations would print in raster mode because Revit couldn't vectorize this geometry when printing.

Well in 9.0 it prints entirely as vectors and looks perfect at any zoom scale.

Bring on the lofting tools :mrgreen: ...it's great to see Revit processing complex geometry better and better with each release.

Along similar line, I can now export surface patterns on curved elements correctly. That never worked right before!

I concur! The surface pattern issue was one of the annoying things. Go Revit..GO!!!!
Yeah!

I have actually found the opposite. What I would normally print as vector I now have to print as raster. This is only happening on a few projects though.

In the attached screenshot you can see that linework has either been omitted from the print altogether, or the materials have overwritten the linework. I must remember to get this off to support today.

That sure looks like a shaded view (rather than shaded with edges). The linework that IS visible all appears to be in families so might be symbolic lines??

I am facing exactly the same problem: Wanting vector for presentation .pdf's, but getting sloppy raster, even when printing at "presentation".

Could somebody please enlighten me as to how to get sharp images?

The plans are sharp, its just the elevs.
