Transparent 3D views in Revit.

A - answer In some situations, Revit 2013 may improperly display and print (raster output, PDF, paper) shaded/rendered 3D views - windows and other transparent or glass elements are displayed even on hidden parts of the building. So the solid walls appears to be semi-transparent, see-through, glass-like:

The source of this problem is an incompatibility of your graphics card, or its driver.

If your card is not compatible, disable its hardware acceleration in Revit (Options > Graphics).

You can also try to enable the "Photographic Exposure" mode in Realistic views (see "Graphic display options" in the 3D view properties):
