Importing, onto sheets, JPEG's made from Revit Views

[narlee]

I sometimes try to export a 3D view from one file, then import that image onto the sheet of another file. The results are always bad (very low resolution and weak colors). I've tried the different JPEG options and high res, but it makes no difference.

Note: I never have a problem importing photos; it's only Revit exported images.

Anyone know a work-around?

exporting any kind of image at any resolution is just impossible!!!!! the quality is worse than worse. It doesn't matter if it is a 300dpi of a 24"x36" exported to 3600x2400 pixel image (jpg,tiff, bmp, etc.) just unacceptable.

I print to pdf then convert to image (but you need acrobat writer, or similar software)

Ignore this part I have written below...I had a brain fart at the time.....this statement below is only possible for rendered images (you can't capture anything but a rendered image)... If you are printing from Revit, and my solution doesn't work for you due to software availability, then you can capture the image into a rendering view from within revit, and include that on a sheet.....it does of course add file size....

Ciao!

Yep, I wish you could write a decent jpg or png from a shaded view, but the quality is bad. The only solution is writing to pdf and using Photoshop to turn it to a jpg.

Found this one:

A freeware printer driver that makes TIFFs. Makes 9000+px wide at A3 size, 600dpi.

Not bad, please try.

It's better...but AntiAliasing for diagonal lines is still missing...

That's a blow up. The original TIFF is 200Mb. Here is a reduced JPG.

Great ideas! Thanks!
