Can the colors in a drawing be overridden so they print in solid black and white?
Click File menu
This ensures that a black and white printer properly processes colors in a project. This option does not
produce grayscale. All colors are converted to black.
How do I increase print speed in elevation, section, and perspective views?
Be sure that the Far Clipping property is active for the view. Go to the view properties of the view and select
an option for Far Clipping.
I choose black lines or gray scale in Revit Architecture, but my printer still prints in colors.
Some printer drivers override the Colors setting that you specified in Revit Architecture. To get the desired
color output, manually set the color through your printer s properties.
Graphics Issues
When I print, surface patterns are partially submerged into the concave side of a wall's surface.

Plotting
When I create a plot file in Revit Architecture using an OCE 9800 plotter and Windows 2000, the plot file
when viewed in Reprodesk is 75% smaller than the sheet size selected in Revit Architecture.
In Reprodesk you need to enlarge the image properties to 150 percent. When you do this, the line weights
may appear lighter than they are supposed to when plotted.
This is an OCE issue on Windows 2000. Plots to an OCE through Reprodesk from any application will be
scaled by 75%.
Prints and plots sent to KIP plotters from a file do not plot.
The Windows driver was not intended to work by selecting the Print to File option; however, by default,
the KIP driver does create a file-folder structure with printable files within.
If you select the Server Properties from the printer's file menu, you will notice a port called KIPx, where x is
a value from 0-99. If you configure that port, it will tell you that it is placing printed files in
c:\monpath1\request by default. You can browse to this folder through Windows Explorer, and you will
see a subfolder with a randomly generated name. Within that, there is a tiff image that is printable. This is
what the KIP controllers are looking for.
