When you wish to export a .jpg and use file/export/image  the export image screen has image size settings.  When you try to export an image of larger size than the program can handle, it simply doesn't do it, no message screen.  (you can verify this by setting on the lowest resolution then trying with ever increasing resolution - soon no file is created).  This is, obviously, not good. 

 Are there any other work-arounds to get higher resolution exports???

My work around is to print to PDF then throw the PDF into PhotoShop and rasterize it at a very high resolution. For example, a 36x48 rasterized to 600dpi creates a 21600x28800 pixel image which, if I remember correctly, is well above the Export Image limit.  You could probably set up a "Print to JPG" plotter like I used to do in AutoCAD, but I haven't done enough of this to justify trying to figure it out in Revit. Hope this gets you to where you want to be.

Exporting As a TIFF Format file also seems to keep the image at scale.

if you want to maximize resolution, printing to a PDF is absolutely the way to go......  another helpful trick is when you are rendering a large file size (80 mb+), that has high resolution settings (300,600)....you can render the view in sections, print them to PDFs and assemble them in photoshop under your required DPI settings.....this has proven to be very effective for me

Any idea what the export image limit is (or why there is one)?

It seems to me that if the program can render the image, it should be able to export it, right?

I have not found any limits to what can be exported. Your computer may have difficulty exporting a very large file especially if you are using a large DPI setting for export. I know if you do not have your window constraints set up correctly it may create these problems on an otherwise simple looking export. For one of the following reasons:

- if you have a small part of a toposurface (or any object) far beyond your screen view

- one of your elevation tabs is far outside your screenview

- you are exporting it at too large of a scale i.e. 1" - 1'

These will make an otherwise small file become extremely large to export and make you computer take hours to export the file and likely crash your computers memory. To avoid this, try creating a callout in the view tab and select just what you are trying to export.
