check whether the image file resides in a path specified on the Rendering tab of the Options dialog. (See
Additional Render Appearance Paths on page 518.) If the Revit project was sent to you by another team
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.
Solution : To make more memory available for the rendering process, use one or more of the following
strategies:
■ Reduce the size of the image to be rendered. See Controlling the Size of the Rendered Image on page 1228
and Render Performance and Image Size/Quality on page 1236.
■
Close unnecessary views in the Revit project.
■ Close unnecessary applications.
Disk Space Insufficient for Rendering
Error : There is not enough space on drive X to create the temporary files that the rendering process needs.
Issue : This message displays when you try to render an image, but the disk drive has insufficient space or
the image file size is too large.
Solution : To make more disk space available for the rendering process, use one or more of the following
strategies:
■ Reduce the size of the image to be rendered. See Controlling the Size of the Rendered Image on page 1228
and Render Performance and Image Size/Quality on page 1236.
■
Make more disk space available on the disk drive.
Rendering Process Is Taking Too Long
Symptom : The rendering process is taking too long, or is taking longer than expected.
Issue : Many factors can affect the amount of time required to render an image, including image size,
resolution, render quality settings, lighting, complex materials, and more.
Solution : See Rendering Best Practices on page 1233. That section describes many of the factors that affect
render time. It also provides recommendations and tips on how to balance the need for a quality image with
the amount of time required to render it.
Rendered Image Is Black
Symptom : All or part of the rendered image is black.
Issues and Solutions : If parts of the rendered image are black, some image files used by render appearances
or decals may be missing. See Missing Images on page 1237.
