Capture Rendering

[rhys]

As soon as I try to Capture a rendering Revit hangs. Has anyone experienced this behaviour?

I've noticed that on my machine (P3 w/ 500) capturing a rendering will take a long time if the rendering is large. It (Revit) acts like it's hung up, but if I wait long enough (coffee break) it'll finish.

i have had that experience to
i make a fine render image
if at first instead of export image i capture it, it will hagn up
but if at firts i export that's ok
that's happens speccialy in large work's

On a related side note: if file size is an issue, all your rendered views should be saved (exported) to JPG or TIF, and kept in the project folder. Delete the captured rendering from your project browser in Revit. The JPGs can be imported to a sheet just as easily as the captured renderings from within Revit. Caputed renderings will bloat the file size. (A little tip we learned at AU!)

I had experienced this problem previously as well. Usually I exported the file first before capturing it. Once that is done, everything should be ok.

IF HOWEVER....you press the capture button first before the export button, and then smacked your own head in frustration, relax. If revit hangs/crashes/isn't responding, there is a location I think I have found where your rendering that you slaved over IS stored. Look in "C:My Documents" upper level and they are there with filenames "render.0001.jpg" etc. The number increases to whatever the number of times you have done this.

Then simply import.
