mesh not publishing correctly, showing unwanted lines

[bgoodale]

I am publishing several sheets that include 3d perspectives of my site terrain model (mesh object). i have the mesh settings set to display user ridges only, and it appears correctly on the screen both in the saved views and on the layout sheets, but when I publish to pdf, i get unwanted grey lines triangulating all the surfaces.

has anybody dealt with this or have any suggestions how to fix this?

i have attached one of the sheets.

i am working on AC 16 with all updates installed.

You might try a different PDF print engine.

i am using the publisher function, and not plotting or printing to pdf, mainly because the publishing is significantly faster and easier (the printing to pdf has become painfully slow, can be upwards of 5 to 10 minutes per sheet!).

as far as i can tell, there isn't an option to select other pdf writers in the publisher sets, but i'll check into that....

You can publish to a printer and select the PDF driver.
