Hi all. My first post here and am a student btw.I have made some 10 A3 sheets of a house and I wanted to print it out in that size but problem is that I dont have A3 printer anywhere near the PC that has Revit Architecture on it. I could use a friends printer at his job but he doesn have Revit installed. I tried exporting to PDF but images are really not that good comparing to original revit. Do any of you guys know if there is a way to do this for instance by saving sheets as something (else ) ?

Thanks in advance

You should be able to print high quality with PDF files. Make sure that in your PDF drivers you set the raster quality to at least 300dpi if you want the images to look good. You can of course set it to 600 or 1200 dpi if you like. :-) 

By the way, we have a tool to batch export PDFs (also DWG, IFC, drawing list) called Docuflow. You can use it free for 7 days, and it is located here: https://www.archigrafix.com/downloads

Thanks for fast reply. I will play around with pdf export settings a bit more. May be an easy solution there after all Can I bother you with one more question ? I am trying to calculate and display areals of different floors but when I use this tool called Room from Architeccture -> Room and area it either automarks the rooms in wrong way since there are some open area solutions and it marks , in my case, 9 rooms instead of 5. If I try to use manual area it goes easy when all 4 walls are parallel ( 2 and 2 offcourse ) but again problems since it wont let me "use up" or "mark" entire area plan. I tried to delete rooms but it says only reference to rooms is deleted ( not the rooms them self ) and I cant add new ones since old ones are still in place. I am really readdy to use good old excel and manually type in dimensions but I do hope there is a workaround here...

Areas, from area plans, can be scheduled and totaled.   Start with this HELP.
