Revit - Greyed out render settings

by Garry Stockton

If you are trying to render a view but you can't change some of the Render Settings because they greyed out, like I did recently, it can be frustrating understanding what caused the issue. It took me some time trying different things to resolve it.  Until, I remembered that there was a view template assigned to the view that is controlling the render quality.

To resolve this issue, you can do one of two things:

1. Remove the View Template assigned to the view and set it to None, then you can change the render quality to whatever you want.
2. Or you can modify the view template settings under Render Settings for the render quality. Keep in mind if you do that it will update all other views that have this view template assigned, so you may want to duplicate it and change the settings in the duplicate, then assign that view template to the view.
