    Depth Cueing bleeds to other Views

    We've got a Sheet with 3 Views on it.
    Only one has Depth Cueing turned on, but all 3 Views act as if they had it on.
    The View on the bottom uses Depth Cueing, while the two on the top have it off.
    The upper floors on both of the top Views should be dark.
    And they are dark on Revit. the problem is that the Depth Cueing gets applied to the other Views when the PDF is created.
    I've checked 3 different PDF printers (Cute, PDF Creator, Bluebeam) and they all do the same.
    BTW, the Views are off the sheet because my first thought was that this happened because they overlapped. So I separated them.

    Depth Cueing prints as Raster, not Vector which messes up everything on the sheet :banghead:

      Chad, make sure your raster prlnting in set to presentation or whatever it is.. Always seems to be a little lighter. I havent seen that combination happen in adobe pro from what i can recall. Maybe i missed it.
      I have had a year of having first year students use depth cueing, and the results have been not good in inexperienced hands. They were using it in sections and callouts and not carefully setting the parameters for the fade. Been a good experiment. I thought that might be the case, it actually helped me to identify those who could get a handle on the program. I'm now of the resolve that simple halftone or suchlike override is safer. Next year i will guide them through depth cueing for visualisation use only and see how that goes.

        Now I'm thoroughly confused.
        Whenever I was do testing, I always try to create as simple an example as I can.
        So I made a little two story building & put Elevations on a Sheet - one with Depth Cueing and one without.
        Wouldn't you know, my example works as expected.

        Now I have no idea why the large project printed all the Views with Cueing on

          Typical. When I did the same thing a few months ago I got the exact opposite result :banghead:

          and when I test it now it doesn't do it at all. maybe something changed with the .2 release?

            Did you check for cad imports - anytime I have graphic anomalies it’s the first to check (actually anomalies in general)

              Could also be a graphics card / driver issue, since depth cueing is using "graphics" ( not lineweights as in ACA ).

              Does the exact same problem appear on different machines? If so, do the machines have identical graphics cards/drivers?

                Still no go.
                Same results on different computers.
                Same results with and without DWGs.
                Looks fin on the screen, but the PDF comes out Cued on all Views.

                  Hey Dave,

                  I would be very interested to hear if you run into this again. If you do, can you try turning depth cueing off on the view(s) that have it, and print again? What version of Revit are you running?

                  Thanks!

                    Two thoughts:
                    • View Template - Possible a view template (glitch) is forcing this on to the view? (unchecked in VT but still altering view)
                    • The Graphics setting: All control for each view in the graphics display options dialog. It's a application level setting but??
