Help on taking screenshots, sections and saving as a pdf to scale

[Anonymous]

Im new to revit and for my school work I have a school layout and place vary machines over the building, I now need to take screenshots of certain parts of the building and save it as a pdf to scale. Is there a way of getting a image of my building on revit which would be to scale like architecture drawing plan. This is important as it needs to be done in the next 5 hours! please help

The way to do is to create a Sheet and place your view(s) on them. On the Sheet you place a titleblock (family) that corresponds with your 'paper' size.

Then you can print the sheet and if the print settings corresponds to the title block size it should be on scale.

Hello,

EnlInt is right.

Click HERE have video with explanetion about sheets.

Click HERE have a official Autodesk information about add a sheet.

When your sheet is ready just drag your plan, section or some other view in to the sheet.

Check your view to be sure befor print the sheet.

When your sheet is ready you can go and print it to pdf by using some pdf creator like Adobe , of PDF creator.

I hope this wll help you!

The four points? Do you mean the Elevation tags? With the view active, select one of them, right-click, and choose Hide in view > By category from the right-click context menu.

Begin to print/plot the sheet. Within the print/plot dialog box, choose a PDF option instead of a physical printer. Go into the Setup options and set the appropriate sheet size and landscape configuration. When you finally begin to print/plot, a save-as dialog box will pop up asking you where to save the pdf file and what name to give it.

If you do not find any PDF options in your list of printers, you will first have to install some type of PDF software that has one, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, PDF Creator, or similar.

Thank you, I think I managed to do it now. I think next time I need to learn more about revit since my teacher didnt give me time and I rushed it. Hopefully I did the right thing my teacher asked for.
