Hello,

I am new to REVIT and have started setting up sheets for our company the last couple of days. I have used the standard templates REVIT provides and just added our logo and labels etc.

I now want to print my sheets out but I am having a problem with these as they don't seem to fit as they should. I have attached an image so you can see what I mean.

The problem is the outter line is the paper edge and the inner line should be the edge of our sheet. However I have this large white border around all my sheets when I come to print the sheet and the paper edge isn't actually on the papers edge.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

If you look at the original titleblock, you will see that the limits of the sheet are INVISIBLE LINES.  The fact that your sheet limits printed means you have a problem.  Also - don't print to fit.  Always print at 100% if you sheet size and printed size is to be the same.

How do I see the invisible lines? I have my original titleblock open but cannot see any lines other than those on my uploaded image.

Also once I have them how do I set it so it doesn't print them?

Revit doesn't print invisible lines but they will become visible in the project when you roll-over them or if you select the titleblock.  In the family editor the invisible lines show up.  Revit prints the limits of the view you are printing.  Because you have regular lines outlining your sheet, Revit will offset from that to determine the sheet edge.

Do you have a solution so that I can alter the offset distance to 0? Or any solution at all as how I can get these lines to the edge of the paper when printed?

Are you reading what I wrote?  Change the sheet limit lines in your family to invisible ! - DONE.

Thanks WWHub. I was testing your theory on our A0 drawing and our A0 plotter is currently having problems. However your solution worked on the A1, A2, A3 and A4 sheets.

Thanks Again.
