Ambient Occlusion wont export in jpeg or pdf

[KayMan]

Ive got a bunch of views with some nice Ambient Occ effects....I thought it would ba as easy to print to pdf or export an image but my images just ecport without any ambient shaddows visible....
Am I doing something worng or is this a bug in 2011????

Correct - it acts like a bug, hopefully Autodeck will make it work by 2012!

In the meantime, I do screenshots instead

My workaround. I open my Photoshop. Then I go back to Revit and make the 3D view active. And then press the button "Prnt Scrn" from the keyboard. Go back to Phototoshop and open a new file. Then paste the screen captured image.I use this way coz I have a 1920 x 1200 resolution. If you can get a much higher res monitor the better.

Cheers guys.
Yeah thats the work around that I done...... Alittle painfull if you need to photoshop images with masks etc.....
Altogether now.....WOW AUTODESK!!!!!

You CAN export images, but they have to be less than ROUGHLY 2000 pixels across. THe number of pixels at the threshold varies depending on monitor size, and im sorry to say i dont know exactly what it is or how it relates.
