Rendering with a background image in Revit 2011 products

Issue

When you render in Revit® 2011, you would like to know how to use a custom background image.

Solution

Revit 2011 products can utilize a background image when rendering through the following steps:

  • View > Render
  • Background > Style, set to Image
  • Browse to specify the image file in .BMP, .JPG, .JPEG, .PNG or .TIF format

The view can then be rendered with a custom background image.
