Problem with Revit rendering the floorplan while working on it

poblem2.pngSo I am trying to get the whole model to render like how it is in the immediate are here in this picture. The problem is, as seen in the top right, is that the whole thing won't render like that at once. This problem gets worse as you zoom out. Is there a way to fix it? (Revit LT is what I'm using.)

Update: I played around a little bit with it, there seems be a sphere around the view camera that is reset every time you orbit. So I can render the whole thing as long as I zoom in completely to the model, orbit slightly, then zoom out without orbiting or panning. Is there a way to increase that "sphere" so that it doesn't just render half of it?poblem.PNG

A few things to try:

 

- Set Phase filter to Show Complete

- Check if there are overlapping elements in that area

- Play with Sun angle

I tried those, and there are some overlapping walls, but I joined them. It seems more like some value you should be able to change? I'm trying to achieve a very specific style to screenshot, since online rendering doesn't exhibit the style that I would like it to.

I didn't see your 1st image for some reason.  Now as I can see it, do you have anything way above the building casting shadow over it?  Create a new 3d view with every model elements turned on (including CAD links/imports, coordination model, etc..), then Zoom Extent and see.

I didn't have the first image added initially, I added it afterwards because I figured it might be helpful.poblem3.PNG

Yes turn off the roof above the building and see if the shadow will be gone.  If it is a CAD element, then turn off Imported Category.

There was a ceiling, I deleted that, but the problem persists. Also deleted the AutoCAD layer. I can get it to look *mostly* normal by zooming in, regenerating the model, then zooming out, but that is an extremely inconvenient method for trying to change different lighting aspects.poblem4.PNG

Not just deleting CAD layers, you need turn off Imported categories.

Didn't work. I'll see if I can post a video to illustrate what is going on better.

Edit: I was able to, video is now linked.

The level was set to the floor level, I also tried it at the footing level and the roof level, but the problem persists.
