I am trying to plot a foundation plan sheet, and two masking boxes appear when it is plotted, but not in the preview. They mask everything except dimensions, text, and text leaders. I tried printing to a regular printer, and it printed how it is supposed to. I rotated the view on the sheet, and plottted, but the masked regions stayed in the same place on the sheet. I plotted the main level sheet without a problem. I tried the basement level, and the masked regions appeared, so I think there may be something hiding below the main level. I can't find anything after looking through all sorts of view ranges, making sure to show all hidden elements. Has anybody else run into an issue like this? I'm using Revit 2015, and trying to plot on an HP Designjet 5500. I even tried changing plotter drivers to no avail.

What updates do you have installed?

 

You write: "...I tried printing to a regular printer, and it printed how it is supposed to..." and "... trying to plot on an HP Designjet 5500..."  << What ????  It plotted correctly to a plotter but not to your plotter?

 

We can only read what you write.

I printed it out on 8.5x11 with a different printer and it worked fine, but when I send it to the plotter it has masked regions. Two rectangles side by side, both the same size. Revit is up to date, but I don't know what updates the plotter has.
