I have to print a 3D pdf which I have no trouble doing, but the pdf comes out a lot darker than what is displayed in Microstation.</p> <p>What I have tried in order to get it to display lighter &ndash;</p> <ol> <li>Had my Default Lighting selected and set it to the max.</li> <li>In my Light Manager I set my Lux under Ambient brighter.</li> <li>Set the Brightness of my images to 50, in order for them to display brighter once I drape them onto my surface.</li> </ol> <p>Microstation on left and pdf on right. I have played with the settings in Adobe selected varies forms of lighting, but nothing comes close to what is shown in MS.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p><a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19568/3D-Print-top-Dark.JPG"><img src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/19568/3D-Print-top-Dark.JPG" alt=" " /></a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/achievements/460ac7df-7ccc-4c42-a204-9e05eef3be09Tue, 18 Dec 2018 01:17:54 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:45f7d7d0-b081-4616-ab4b-36cce6472bb2Ask a question in a forum.
