Printing issues with Rh8 SR17 & VA3.3.0
@fsalla @enric
-
VA objects are not visible on Technical
-
Display color differs from what you see on Layout
-
On RCP, Technical VA objects are visible, but do not show Hidden linetype

I changed your topic category, assuming that this is related to VisualARQ

We are aware of that (you actually reported it already here: Create a proper technical drawing from a 3d model - #18 by Toni_Osterlund). I’ll let you know when we fix this.
This print preview doesn’t seem to be consistent with the printing color of the beams, which is set to “by Layer”, and has the black color assigned. So I think the only problem here is the Print preview page, because the beams print out in the right color.
I’m surprised you can print the beams if you are using the Technical display mode in that detail (because of the first issue listed here). I cannot reproduce it.
That is correct, I think. I Restored Defaults on “Hidden” and realised that the I have changed the Surface Edge settings to use single color for all edges. This gives me the view style I’m looking for.
But I did not realise that while this affects the visible display color, it does not match the Print/Output Color/Display Color, which is then read from the beam properties, instead from the display settings.
But If change the Print color to Black, of course that still does not affect the Display Color.
OK, then I’ll repeat the exercise with Technical. Display looks good.
Print Preview/Ouput color/Display Color looks consistent with what I see on screen.
VA objects do not show, but this is already known. (I could not replicate 3) the RCP visibility again either)
So, to sum it up.
2) Print/Output color/Display Color on “Hidden” viewmode is not consistent with the actual view. As in other viewmodes
A quick test with “Ghosted” as well.
Others than RCP seem to work as intended.
It’s obvious VARQ objects are inconsistent in this aspect, compared to other Rh geometry.

Hi @Toni_Osterlund you are right, we will revise these printing vs Hidden display setting issues.
