I have a surface pattern on a roof paver tile so that I see the 18"x18" tiles. However, I want to see through the pavers so I can highlight the sloping roof below. I added a filter that makes my pavers halftone and transparent and then another filter to bold and hidden line my sloping roof. It looks exacetly the way on I want on my screen. However, when I print it, some of the surface patterns disapear randomly. I should mention that I have many different paver floors because of many different colors and rotations of the tiles. 98% of them show correctly on the print, but it should print 100% of them. Is there something I should check?

Are you printing raster because of shading? If so, that may account for your problem. Halftones seem to be a problem on lines other than normal - we see differences on curves vs normal lines. The problem is because of the pixels... Did you try printing to a pdf first then printing that?

We always print with vector. Which is where I'm experiencing the problem. If I print it in raster I don't have the problem, but I'll only print that one sheet in raster. I tried print on a laser printer, full size plotter and PDF and all had the same result when print as vector. Thanks for your input.

I'm having the same problem with my rcp drawing. The surface hatch is displaying on all ceilings but two. All the properties are the same. Any clues? Is this just a glitch. Please see attached file. Thanks in advance

99.999% sure it is a user issue. Possibilities - I know you think the properties are the same but we have seen far too many of these: - Is the ceiling really there (the tag is to this ceiling - not adjacent)
- Ceilng is out of view.
- Over-ride graphics in view by element
- Ceiling is not the same....
- You are playing around with phases.

Thanks for the response but: - Is the ceiling really there (the tag is to this ceiling - not adjacent)-Yes ceiling is there
- Ceilng is out of view.- no ceiling is not out of view
- Over-ride graphics in view by element- no graphics over-ride
- Ceiling is not the same....- It is the same
- You are playing around with phases.-We are not using phases in this project.
Anyother ideas? Thanks

Are your surface patterns 'Drafting' or 'Model'?

Drafting- they pattern is connected to the ceiling, in the ceiling properties. Therefore it doesn't make sense why all the other plank ceilings show up except these two. I ended up having to add a filled region to make it show up. Still love input on what might be wrong. Thanks

Here is a test for you - create a new ceiling plan. Don't copy the existing one. Justr uncheck the do not duplicate box and create the plan from the Create / Plan Views / NEW RCP and set the scale to a large scale. Then if the ceiling does't come in, match ceiling properties good to bad or vice versa and see what happens.
