When you export an image, Revit prints any view directly to a raster image file. You can then use this image for online presentations or printed materials.
To export a view to an image file
- Click
ExportImages and Animations
(Image). - In the Export Image dialog, click Change to change the default path and file name for the image, if desired.
- Under Export Range, indicate the images to export:
- Current window. This option exports the entire contents of the drawing area, including parts that are outside the current viewing area.
- Visible portion of current window. This option exports whatever is currently visible in the drawing area.
