Image crop

[rawezh]

It's very important for revit to have image crop, especially in sheets because when insert an image to sheets there is no view crop region, and it's so hard to put some images in different views to crop with cropping region of the view,especially when we have a lot of images.

Hii @rawezh 

I think this issue is already solved in the forum. Kindly find a solution in the below link.

There is no solution in this link, some times I have 20 rendered images & I
put each one on a different sheet & I want to crop them directly on the
sheets instead of putting them to views, I have to make 20 views & crop
them there then put views on sheets it's very annoying, revit should have
crop tool for images, or should annotation mask region work on the sheets, thanks

Why not placed the image into floor plan. There you have the ability to crop view. I usually placed all rendering in one floor plan and then you duplicated by dependent. This gives you ability to crop and you can placed it on sheet.

There is no such option for cropping images on sheet. What you are suggesting or asking for is already on the Ideas forum but it is not that popular so I doubt it will be added. I do not see any reasons why it should be the first place (Revit is not an image editing software). However, it is totally understandable why you don't like using views to crop images and you are perfectly right,  who would create 40 dummy dumb views for 40 renderings just to crop them.

The only practical options I have found without using dummy views are the following:

1. Mask the images the Sheet using with a Generic Annotation with a Filled white region 
2. Crop them outside Revit and bring them back in onto the sheets using Insert >> Import/Link Image

an easy way would be this one:

•  create a Drafting View
• Insert the bitmap there and crop it by using Region>Mask
• Copy to Clipboard selecting both  bitmap and Region
• open any orthogonal View  and paste it there

I think I 've made a mistake in my previous post...

So, without editing the bitmap outside the program..:

• use a Drafting View to Crop the Image
• Export this Drafting View: File>Export>Images and Animations>Image
• Open the Sheet, then,> Import Image , and insert the previous exported one
