The image exporter came about when I was considering ways of adding a floor … ---

You have your image resolution plugged into zoom percentage? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/a/3/a36b1550cbfcb0ed7d3784ad5ca303ebc43540a5.png) ---

Hi Mark, All of the nodes are plugged into the correct boxes but it may be my Dynamo package version. Which version of archi-lab nodes are you running? Thanks ---

Hi, I interpret your question with 2 possible meanings 🙂 1. The view in the current document contains the link… Yes I expect so 2. Background open the link, export it’s views… Yes I expect so, but you might need to edit the node so you can feed the link doc. Perhaps you can post your goal? And your working so far? Cheers, Mark ---

Hello Mark, I wish to have the option 2, the archilab node with access to link files to access to the views stored in other files of Revit at once, like GeniusLoci package has in many nodes ---

Hello, good afternoon, I am trying to create the export of 3D views of several \* rvt documents, with the inconvenience in the node, “Export Image by View” which is giving me an error. . Since I apologize for the English, I am using the Google translator from Spanish to English. ![nodo archi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/2/a/2abf922a2dbf34450c9c8cb9e704caf7e6da356a.jpeg)
