Export Image of Composite

Anonymous — Thu, 16 Aug 2018 11:28:51 GMT

Is there any way to export the image of a composite?

I've many times used screenshots, but now the composite is so big that it goes outside my screen area.

Is there some way to print it out in some way?

What do you mean by "image of a composite"?
Or do you mean an image of the complete composite list?

Here's a screenshot of a composite

You should be able to resize that window by dragging the edges.
Are you having problems resizing it?

Also there is a divider between the list on the left and the image on the right that can be repositioned.

Yes, I know I can resize the window, but when I have composites which are very big, then the window is larger than my monitor.

I could change the resolution of my monitor so that everything will be tiny and maybe then I will be able to fit the composite in the monitor, but this is not how normal programs operate. Imagine having to do that in Microsoft Word to be able to print. The whole document would have to be able to fit inside the screen for you to take a screenshot that you could pass on to other people on earth. I assume you understand the difficulties involved in such an operation.

Rather than sharing a screenshot, just export the composite using attribute manager and send them the .aat file?

It would have to be a very big composite.
I could probably fit around 18-20 skins in a composite and still have the window fit on screen.
I would never have a composite with that many skins and I can't imagine when that would be needed.

What resolution do you have on your screen?
Mine is only 1920 x 1080.

Why not create a schedule of the composites including 2D preview and save as pdf

Any pointers as to how I create a "schedule" of a composite?;)

My schedule settings and a sample of the output, annotations added in schedule.

You mean you have to manually add the annotations, descriptions and arrows to all the layers of the composite? Then it's not a solution, cause I would spend weeks doing that. It's not possible to have it do that automatically? I mean, all the data is in the model.

I have not heard anything back from you.

If a labeled object will do, have you tried creating a wall or whatever your composite is and adding a skins label to it?

Not sure what you mean, cause I don't have time to add labels manually of the numerous wall composites I have, with numerous materials.

I was talking about the skin list label. You just click an object and it automatically labels all skins and their respective thickness.

You could try to schedule a components list like this, see if you like it. You could add a 2d plan preview as well, but i don't see a way to make it appear only once and bigger, so it will appear on each skin's row. Make sure you check merge uniform items.
