To present the model to clients or team members, export a walkthrough to a video (AVI file) or to a series of images.
Video: Export a Walkthrough Animation
When you export a walkthrough to an image file, each frame of the walkthrough is saved as an individual file. You can export all frames or a range of frames.
To export a walkthrough
- Open the walkthrough view.
If it's not open, in the Project Browser, double-click the walkthrough name to open it.
If you have multiple views open, ensure that the walkthrough view is the active view.
- Click File tab
ExportImages and Animations
(Walkthrough).
- Under Output Length, do the following:
- Specify the frames to include. Select All frames, or select Frame range to indicate the start and end frames.
- Adjust Frames/sec. As you change the number of frames per second, the total time automatically updates.
- Under Format, specify values for Visual Style, Dimensions, and Zoom to the desired values.
If you select Rendering as the Visual Style, Revit uses the rendering settings specified for the walkthrough view for export. If you specify a Custom render quality setting, Revit exports the walkthrough with Draft render quality; otherwise, Revit uses the specific render quality (Draft, Medium, High, or Best).
- Click OK.
- Navigate to the desired folder.
- Select the file type.
- Click Save.
- If you selected an AVI file type, in the Video Compression dialog, select a video compressor from the list.
To stop recording the AVI file, click Cancel next to the progress indicator at the bottom of the screen or press Esc. To obtain the best AVI or image files for your project, test various output file and video compression codec types.
