hi all
i'm trying to export big image from revit - then i need to print it on a0 sheet.
revit refuses to save the file on high resulution. it look like it do but then when i check the file - it's not high resulution file
it'll look bad if i'll print it.
it tried to export to BMP, JPG, TIFF, PNG and all of them. i tried also to print it to PDF - same problem.
here is a video i made:

Try increasing the scale and export.

Increase the scale means enlarge the view i.e try 1:20 or more.

Usually we increase the image size to a large ammount of pixes to achieve this. Let's say 5000 pixels horizontally. But in your video it seems it's 512 pixels horizontal. Try adjusting the image size.

What Paven is telling you is correct. Increase the image size - your view size - your size right now is 422mm wide. Make that larger. The number of pixals / inch is OK and that total will increase with image size.

If your image is to fit an Iso A0 size (1189 x 841 mm 46.8 x 33.1 in), according to an online image calculator, you need the following image size:
Resolution 150dpi (med res): 7020pixels x 4965 pixels
Resolution 300dpi (high res): 14040pixels x 9930 pixels

As much as i know this windows is reachable only when you deal with 3d camera view.
I deal with a regular PLAN VIEW.

Well - I would have thought this would be easy for you ..... just change the scale of the view!
Double the size - export - and print 1/2 the size of your export.....
and you said:
.........."i changed it from 1 50 to 1:250."....<<<<< you made it 5 times smaller NOT larger!
