Create a new sheet view, and add a titleblock to it.

Add any views (plans, elevations, sections) to the sheet. After you add a view, change its view scale through the view properties.

You can plot multiple views at different scales on the same sheet.

Several printers have limited on-board memory to process print data.

When plotting large format sheet sizes to plotters such as the HP DesignJet, change the plotter's settings so that the data is processed in the computer.

To change the settings, click (Print). Select the correct printer, and click Properties. In the dialog, click the Advanced tab. Select the option to process the document in the computer, and click OK.

Reference planes, crop boundaries, and scope boxes are hidden for printing by default. To show them when you print, click Print (Print Setup). In the Print Setup dialog, clear the options for reference planes, crop boundaries, and scope boxes.

Click Print (Print Setup). In the Print Setup dialog, select Hide ref/work planes.

Click Print (Print Setup). In the Print Setup dialog, under Appearance, for Colors, select Black Lines.

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.

Some printer drivers override the Colors setting that you specified in Revit. To get the desired color output, manually set the color through your printer’s properties.
