6 Under Format, for Model Graphics Style, select one of the following:
Wireframe: This option displays an image of the model with all edges and lines drawn, but
with no surfaces drawn.
Hidden Line: This option displays the image with all edges and lines drawn except those
occluded by surfaces.
Shading: This option displays the image with all surfaces shaded according to their material
settings and project light locations.
Shading with Edges: This option displays the image in shaded mode, but with all
non-occluded edges drawn as well.
Rendering: This option uses defined render settings to create a photorealistic image for each
frame in the solar study.
7 Enter dimensions (in pixels) or a zoom percentage to specify the size of the frame in the export
file.
If you enter a value for one dimension, Revit Architecture calculates and displays the value for
the other dimension to maintain the proportions of the frame, and it displays the equivalent
zoom percentage. Likewise, when you change the zoom percentage, Revit Architecture calculates
and displays the equivalent dimensions.
8 Click OK.
9 In the Export Animated Solar Study dialog, under Save In, navigate to the target folder.
10 For File name, enter a file name.
11 For Files of type, select an export file type.

c Click OK.
The animation plays while the AVI file is being saved.
