Before rendering a 3D view, you can use these techniques to control its print size (in pixels) and file size (in bytes).
The width and height of the rendered image display on the Rendering dialog under Output.
- Render part of the 3D view: You can focus on a specific part of a 3D view to reduce the size of the resulting image file.
- Zoom in or out: When creating a rendered image for screen output, you can zoom in or out to make the rendered image larger or smaller.
- Change the output resolution: When creating a rendered image for printing, you can specify the image resolution in DPI (dots per inch).
- Change the view scale: When rendering an image for printing, you can change the view scale to reduce the image size.
Note: Higher resolution and larger image size increase render time.
Autodesk Raytracer and Render Size
Note: This feature is available only to students and to Autodesk Maintenance and Desktop Subscription customers for Revit 2016 software releases.
When using Raytracer to render an image, and defining a custom render quality, the size of the rendered image is important. If either the height or width of the rendered image will exceed 2048 pixels, then you must select the "Render by Level" duration option. If you select "Render by time" or "Until Satisfactory," a warning displays. To resolve this issue, you can make adjustments to modify the size of the rendered image, or select "Render by Level" in the Render Quality Settings dialog.
