Troubleshooting Issues with Rendering

When rendering a 3D view, you may encounter the following issues.

Press Render to Update the Image

Error: Changes you have made to the rendering are not shown in this image. Press Render to update the
image.
Issue: This message displays in the drawing area when you render an image and then change the render
settings or the building model. It indicates that the rendered image is out of date.
Solution: To update the rendered image, click Render in the Rendering dialog.

Missing Images

Warning: The following render appearance images are missing.
NOTE If you see this warning during the rendering process, copy and paste the list of missing files into a text file
or document. This strategy enables you to check on the status of these missing files later.
Issue: When mental ray cannot locate files used in render appearances (including decals), it continues the
rendering process, and it renders that part of the view as black. (Click Cancel if you want to cancel the
rendering process instead of proceeding.) For example, if an image file that defines a custom color or texture
is missing, elements to which that material is applied display as black in the rendered image. Likewise, if a
decal image file is missing, the decal displays as black.
Solution: Check the render appearances of the relevant materials. (See
a Material
When you move the mouse over the Image File field for a decal or color or bump pattern, Revit Architecture
displays the path of the image file. Check whether the image file resides in the specified location. If not,
check whether the image file resides in a path specified on the Rendering tab of the Options dialog. (See
Additional Render Appearance Paths
member, you may need to request the relevant image files.

Not Enough Memory to Create the Rendered Image

Error: There is not enough memory to create the rendered image.
Issue: This message displays when you try to render an image, but the computer has insufficient memory
to perform the operation.
