JRoge active Joined: Mon, Apr 1, 2013 5 Posts No Rating	Hi everyone...I know this is probably a simple question (Revit newbie) I'm using Revit MEP 2013 and plotting out a power plan, and the power symbols are all printing very faintly. I've gone into the Visibility Overrides (VV) and haven't seen anything amiss. (like, the halftone box isn't checked) Also, my electrical panels are printing dark enough. In the properties screen at the side of the page, the discipline is listed as Electrical, so I thought that would instruct it that electrical devices are dark. Any ideas? Thanks, John

Use Windows built in Snipit to do so. ----------------------------------- CADclips REVIT Video Training Now ONLY $50 . FULL 'DOWNLOAD ACCESS' to all 850+ CADclips videos for only $150

(the annotation prints nice and dark, but that seems normal for fonts). The dark rectangles are the electrical panels, which print fine.

It appears to me that the line weights are still being controlled by the 'Object Style' which may or may not have sub categories depending on the families themselves. Read up on 'Object Style', cut and projected line weights and patterns.. ----------------------------------- CADclips REVIT Video Training Now ONLY $50 .
