To import an image into a title block
1 Prepare the image or logo, and save it in a supported file format.
TIP Import the file using the image size at which you want it to display in the title block. If you load
and resize a large image file in the title block, Revit Architecture retains the large file size, which can
degrade performance. To improve performance, use the smallest acceptable image file.
2 Open the title block in the Family Editor.
See Modifying a Title Block on page 1047.
