mattryan Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Hello all I am trying to get some final rendering done and I seem to have issues with the final resolution. I have tried final render works and custom render works but the image quality I would say is not as crisp as I would like. Is there a way to increase the final resolution on the rendering? Average rendering time is less than a minute so I have no issue with how long it should take. Can anyone help with this? Thank you! Matt A0.pdf Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 You are Rendering on a Sheet Layer in a Viewport ? > increase DPI settings for the Sheet Layer ..... Quote Link to comment
grant_PD Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 If you render in a viewport you can set the sheet layer resolution to be whatever dpi you like. If you go old school and export image then you can set the output resolution via that dialog box after you draw the marquee for the area to render. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted December 14, 2017 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 14, 2017 I agree with the above recommendations. First, make sure to render in a sheet layer viewport, so you can control the resolution. If you are already doing this, then the most likely issues are the DPI of the sheet layer being too low. This is edited in Tools > Organization > Sheet Layers, and then increasing the DPI of the sheet you are rendering on. Second, If you have that at 150 DPI or above and you STILL see a lack of crispness with the viewport fitting a normal page, increase the Anti Aliasing setting in your Renderworks style.

mattryan Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 AH great thank you! I didn't check the sheet layer resolution which is set at 72 dpi. That hopefully will do the trick! thanks for the quick replies, much appreciated. Matt Quote Link to comment
Andy Broomell Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Also note that in addition to the Sheet Layer dpi setting, the actual size of your viewport (width and height on the page) directly affects its final resolution. For example, if you set your Sheet Layer to 300dpi but your viewport is only 1" wide, the rendered image will only be 300px wide. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I've encountered people who have a viewport which fills an entire ARCH D sheet (24x36") who then wonder why it's taking forever for the high-res viewport to render. Depending how you made your viewport it's probably already a more reasonable size, but it's something to be aware of. My viewports for rendering tend to be between 10-20" wide depending on what I'm doing. Quote Link to comment
