Defining the View Area to Render

You can render part of a 3D view. You might use this strategy for the following reasons:
To focus on a particular part of the 3D view.
To test render appearances for materials applied to model elements.
See Applying Materials to Elements
To reduce the amount of time required to render the image.
See Rendering Best Practices
To reduce the size of the resulting image file.
See Controlling the Size of the Rendered Image
When you click Render, Revit Architecture renders only the specified part of the building model.
To define the view area to render, use one or more of the following methods:
Crop region: Open the 3D view, and apply a crop region to define the area to render. See
View on page 211. To check or change the size of the cropped view, select the crop region, and click
Modify Cameras tab
Render region: Open the Rendering
the render region boundary. Select the render region, and use the blue grips to adjust its size. For
orthographic views, you can also drag the render region to move its location in the view. If the view uses
a crop region, the render region must reside within the crop region boundaries.
Camera clipping plane: The camera clipping plane defines the depth of the 3D view to render. When
you reduce this clipping plane, Revit Architecture has fewer model elements to process when producing
