I did a site plan of mostly detail lines and all of my lines, (medium lines), are plotting grey. Where would I look to change this. The line weight is set to 4. Not sure why they would plot this way. They display fine on screen. Thanks

Thanks Hub but that's not it.
I should've mentioned that my medium lines are not only plotting grey but they aren't even close to a line weight of 4.

Also, my property lines are plotting black and heavy like they should so it's not like the whole plot is plotting greyed out.

- Try plotting to PDF first. Then open the PDF and print.
- Also try a different printer if you can.
- Try switching to 'wireframe' display just to see what the result is.
- Maybe switch the lines to a different line style or creat a new life style for them.

I'd like to see the legal description/coordinates of that property line.
I would first check and make sure that your line types/styles and object styles weights are actually what you think they are.
Property lines are not really in the line category--they're under the Site category, and might operate under slightly different rules, so it's not safe to compare them.
Also out of superstition I would duplicate the view and discard the old, restart revit. Check to make sure the line color is black and not very dark gray...
...and for good measure, (although I know it's not your problem since no lines are overridden halftone) make sure this box isn't checked. It was a common stumbling block in our office as people decided to go vigilante on graphics... I hate it. two thirds of the requests for my time involve deconstructing the graphics settings of eccentrics. (IE, Override graphics by element on a 50% gray detail line to halftone it to a 75% gray line, which then prints as thin black, while all along there was a 75% gray linetype.)

He did say the property lines plot ok. It's all the 'detail lines' that's the problem. I agree on creating a new view to eliminate overrides but it should be WYSIWYG.

Still having this issue. I changed the bubilding outlines to wide lines and they didn't change a bit. Still thin half tone. Tried printing it as a .pdf and no difference??
