Ex 2-6 Lake Cabin Printing

Exercise 2-6: Printing

The last thing you need to know to round off your basic knowledge of Revit is how to print the current view.

Printing the current view:

  1. Select File . Print from the menu bar.

  2. Adjust your setting to match those shown in Figure 2-26.
    3. • Selecting a printer from the list that you have access to.
    • Set Print Range to: Visible portion of current window
  3. Click on the Setup button to adjust additional print settings.

  4. Adjust your setting to match those shown in Figure 2-27.
    5. • Set Zoom to: Fit to page
  5. Click OK.

  6. You will see a prompt asking if you want to save the modified “Print Setup.” (Figure 2-28) Click NO.
  7. Click the Preview button in the lower left corner. This will save paper and time by verifying the drawing will be correctly positioned on the page.

  8. Click the Print button at the top of the preview window.

  9. Click OK to print to the selected printer.

fyi:

Notice you do not have the option to set the scale (i.e. 1/8” = 1’-0”). If you recall from our previous exercise the scale is set in the properties for each view.

If you want a quick half-scale print you can change the zoom factor to 50%. You could also select Fit to page to get the largest image possible but not to scale.
