View Full Version : Filled Regions Not Showing Up

I think I know why this is happening, but not sure if there's some way to stop it.

I've got a shingle roof at a fairly shallow pitch. In the model and sheet views, the shingle filled region shows up. However, when I print (and print preview), the roof is blank (no "hatching"). When I increase the scale of the view from 1/8" to 1/4", it shows up.

I think that the angle of the roof is making the linework too dense at 1/8" scale, so Revit is deciding it would be best not to print the pattern at all (how nice of it). Is there any toggle or anything that tells the program to print patterns no matter what?

In the mean time, I cheated and just put a detail filled region over the roof in the elevation view.

Thanks

Have you tried printing as Raster instead of Vector?
It's an option on the Print Setup dialog box (the tab with the scales & sheet sizes)

That did it. Thanks!
