Hi, help create a node with function SaveToProjectAsImage command, for saving selected view.

Thank you.

Try something with the View.ExportAsImage node in the Revit dropdown. That should get you where you want to go.

Thank you, I tried. But it did not help me (

Can you post an image of your script?

I would do something like this:

clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *

import sys
pyt_path = r'C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib'
sys.path.append(pyt_path)

try:
    errorReport = None
    
    TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
    options = ImageExportOptions()
    options.ExportRange = ExportRange.CurrentView
    options.ViewName = "Image_" + doc.ActiveView.Name
    result = doc.SaveToProjectAsImage(options)
    TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()
except:
    # if error occurs anywhere in the process catch it
    import traceback

    errorReport = traceback.format_exc()

# Assign your output to the OUT variable
if None == errorReport:
    OUT = result
else:
    OUT = errorReport

So the ImageExportOptions is where you can control image size and resolution. You can find all possibilities here: http://www.revitapidocs.com/2018/0f83e370-338f-b3a0-d5e5-b126bb31b49e.htm
