Hey guys 

Having an issue with a sheet not being able to print without it freezing

Been playing around with it for a while and worked it out that when a "solid fill transparent Filled region" is inlcuded in

the print the whole prgrame freezing at %62 and doesnt move from there...

If i hide the region the page prints within seconds

If i change to region settings to Opaque, Revit prints the page to PDF no issues :/  

Any ideas what i can do next?

1) Delete region, redo region, purge model, remove all warnings, audit and detach model.

if no then,

2) Delete region, redo region but make two or more regions instead of one.

if no then,

3) Delete sheet, create new sheet.

if no then,

4) Delete view/s and create new ones.

good luck

Bringing back this issue.. still having problems trying to create a PDF when a Soild Filled Filled Region is shown in the page, Only causing issues in new projects. We have tried copying from old projects and still cause a delay in creating the PDF. can sometimes take 20min to create the PDF. A 3m x 3m Soild filled Region box is adding 4mb to a 1.5mb File as well  ... any other advice?

It may be the PDF writer you are using.

Is this a solid fill or a very tight linework hatch (maybe imported from CAD)?  That could explain the problem.
