Revit Architeture 2013
Ok... Plan regions are killing me. Just as wipeouts killed me in ACAD. They seem to have a level of unpredictabilty...
I have a space with three levels that step down enough that I cannot set one, or two, view ranges. I need three separate ranges to display as required. I have 2 plan regions and they do not cross, and in my view they display correctly. But when I plot, a single family object does not plot and appears a blank spot in the plan. Tried plotting to 4 different devices, including .pdf and received same results.
Has anyone had this problem, any ideas?
Attached are two different images, one is a screen shot of it displaying correctly and the other is the plot without the family displaying.

Plan regions are very pridictable so I doubt that this is your problem. We don't have enough information to give you an eact answer. It could be your Revit - is this the latest build? It could be your drivers. It could be the family and it could be your view range settings.
Do you have something temporarily turned off? The eyeglass is only temporary and the item will plot.
You don't show your view range locations and the property of the one in this location.
Is there CAD in here?

I haved the latest build, all drivers are up to date. Family is Casework and is cuttable. There is CAD in this drawing, same occurs effect with or without CAD attached. As I stated the view range works in the display, but when printing the object does not print, but rather creates some form of mask over the area. This is a tested family I have used before and has behaved fine with plan regions. Nothing is turned off... I have attempted to spool in cpu and the printer, no effect.
This project occurs on 3 levels, all referenced from a separate datum level. The upper level is my main level, the next level is 11" down from the main level and the final level is 41" down from my main level. The main view range is cut at 4'-6" and top is at 5'-0", the bottom is at the level below 0'-0" and the range is -0'-1" at the level below. The same setting are used for the other plan regions.
I've updated the images for clarity...

Only suggestion I have is to start testing different things. ... maybe adjust your view ranges. Even set the main view range for the middle area with a different range at each side.

Yeah, tried that. Even reduced to a single plan region, and referenced all the view range settings from the view's associated level. Checked the family to ensure no one added an errant line, plane etc that could be cutting... nothing. Well, I guess I'll see if anyone else has any suggestions. Thanks for your time...
I am attaching another image with an alternate setup that generates the same results...
