Is there a way to output a selection of viewports instead of clicking on each one then hitting output>image ? I have 50 views that I want to output and would prefer not to do this one by one. The viewport report is kind of useless as it prints all the images in really low resolution. Its says that I can customize the report by editing viewpoints_report.xsl, but i have no idea how to do that...

Hi,

I've exactly the same problem. The file "viewpoints_report.xsl" is in the Navisworks installation directory (you can open it with a notepad for example). In my case it was in "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Navisworks Simulate 2012\fr-FR\stylesheets".

I opened it and tried to find a line concerning the resolution, but didn't find anything related to...

If anyone as the solution !

What is the resolution in your Viewpoint Report?

If we change the Viewpoint Report to push out a Viewpoint at 1024 x 1024 .PNG @ Anti-Aliasing Passes of 4 it should be OK.

In order to change the resolution go the Application Menu (The big "N" in the top left corner), and hold the "Shift" key down while clicking on the "Options" button.
Then in the Viewpoint Defaults setting you can change the Viewpoint Report resolution.

Yeaaah! Thank you that works !

I had done the same but hadn't held the "Shift" key.. so I couldn't see this parameter.

Bye

This is exactly what i have done (with Navisworks Manage 2015) and thank you for the solution provided. Here is an additional item i'd like to ask about exporting the viewpoints:

My viewpoints have the saved attribute "Hide/Require" selected so that my views are much more clear as to the content i would like to show. When i export the views, this property must be ignored since the items i have hidden are not shown in the exported JPG. I have looked through the Hidden options (SHIFT+Options) and have not found anything about the "Hide/Require" attributes in the report. I have seen that within the Viewpoints_Report.xsl there is a line for "clipplaneset" and i wonder if the Hide/Require attribute could be added to the XSL. However, i would have no idea what the string of text would need to be and where to place it within that XSL file.
I assume it would be something like this:

Please let me know if you have a solution.
