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

Are they faint in the project (when you zoom in) or just when you print ? Always best to include a screen capture. Use Windows built in Snipit to do so.

I guess they're a little faint on the screen too.  Here's a screen shot:  The receptacles are near the GFCI annotations.  (the annotation prints nice and dark, but that seems normal for fonts).  The dark rectangles are the electrical panels, which print fine.

Electrical symbols(light switches, receptacles, etc) are under the Annotation Categories Tab>Generic Annotations. Panels show up dark because you are looking at the actual extrusion--the panel itself.

I agree. The panels are being 'cut' so they are darker.

 

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..
