View Full Version : Reference planes in linked projects always print?

I am having a printing problem and want to know if this is a limitation of Revit or if I am doing something wrong.

In the print settings dialog, we have the option to check "hide ref/work planes". This normally works fine (reference planes do not print when I check this box). However, when I linked a project (it's a second tower on the same site) into my main project, I cannot disable visibility of the ref-planes in the linked project using the print settings dialog. My main project ref-planes do not print but my linked project ref-planes DO print.

I wish this print dialog setting were global, so that it would hide ALL reference planes in the main project and the linked projects. My work-around has been to turn off visibility of the linked reference planes in each view, but this is an annoyance.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I am not sure what's happening, but have you made sure those are ref planes not ref lines with modified line type?
Thanks

Thanks Firmso, but they are definitely reference planes. Has anyone else noticed this problem when linking projects? Thanks
