I generated a floor plan and added boundaries and area tags made a schedule and put it on a titleblock and when I printed out the plan only the colors, the room tags and the titleblock showed up. It's as if the colors were on top and hiding all the walls and doors..basically all the line work on the plan was covered by the colors. See attached picture.

Is it happening on the screen as well or when printing only? If both are incorrect, check the view phasing and the phase filter settings – existing vs. new construction.

It looks fine on the screen and in print preview mode, but when I print it to a pdf or straight to a printer the linework is all covered with color.

What is your visual style set to? Wireframe? Change it to hidden line and set the color scheme location to foreground in the properties.

Awesome, Thanks so much.

I was using wireframe in order to get the color to show up in the walls, but didn't know the wireframe was holding me back on the printing.

Thanks again.
