Hi,

 

I am working on a project in 2012 and have placed a mass to represent a part of the building outside of our responsibilities. The mass is mean to be a blue translucent box (see image 1) however the graphics seem to be a bit buggy, sometimes the mass shows as it should but sometimes it just shows transparent (see image 2). I have tried opening this on another computer and the mass consistently shows as it should but then has printing errors (see image 3).

Any ideas?

Why are you using a mass? I never use them. Looks like many other in place objects could be used. Masses must always be turned on in the VG, also may react a little funny under different detail level settings.

probably because you've customized a material, and the installation on your second computer is at odds with a material by the exact same name in the library on the local C: drive.   This is default path for the material library, when you installed the software. 

 

I don't like how revit 2012 changed the materials interface.  Not at all.
