I have an issue where if I have existing walls (lines are grey) and I add a floor or ceiling that is new (lines are black), when I print

I have some parts that are grey and some are black. It's very inconsistant! I'm attaching a file to show. Three of the walls are

grey but the bottom wall has a black edge.

How to I make sure that floor's lines that are black show up over the wall's lines?

Your floor is in a new phase....and your rule is to show that as black.  Revit is doing what you tell it to do.  Change that if you don't like it.  Perhaps you want to turn of the edges for this slab?

Zoom in closer at the pdf.

The floor is set to show black lines, but how come there is only one black line (the one on the bottom wall)? Shouldn't there be 4 black lines where the floor meets the wall? This was just a simple example. The project I'm working on has lines alternating from black to grey multiple times on the same wall! It's so inconsistant. I even changed the lineweight of the floor line to 5 and the wall lines to 3 hoping that would make the black line show up throughout but it didn't work.

In the PDF you posted, we just can't see the issue but anyway....

Revit is a database and there are some funny things that happen sometimes.  This is probably one of those.  From what we have seen and read, when Revit "sends the linework" to the printer driver, it does so in database order.  This has nothing to do with phases but appears to be when the objects are added but I am not sure even of that.

Your best solution is to use the linework tool on edges like this.  And complain to Autodesk.

Thank you for your response. I'm sorry my last PDF was unclear, try this one. I've put red boxes around areas of my floor's perimeter that should be black but is grey instead.

I could change the line style of the floor to be grey as well, but what if I have a new wall that has black lines? I'll run into the same issue where Revit will pick and choose randomly whether to draw a black line on top or on the bottom.
