Hello RevitCity users!

I am having issues with a family that is causing problems when trying to print with the option "fit to page".

Now I know that using this option is not ideal but this is the way company prints a floor plan when trying

to do quick sketches to make adjustments to a layout, and not for technical purposes. The family causing

problems is a sink family that is composed of some extrusions for the countertop and supports, and the

sink family which is nested but I'm not sure which is the one that is faulty. When printing with "fit to page"

it causes the floor plan to shrink and move to the bottom left corner of an 11x17 as if an object is in the

upper right corner. If we hide the sinks and try to print their are no issues so I have narrowed it down to

one of these two components. I have opened both of the families and for the life of me could not find anything

that seemed to be off into the distance. I have attached the family to this post.Thanks to any and all in advance that help me with solving this.

Your problem is most likely CAD.  The family you posted has at least one embedded CAD - the Kohler-15182 family.  You might try removing that nested family from your sink family and see if that fixes your problem.

Remember - not all families are cuttable.  Read about cuttable in your HELP.
