Problem with Revit 2014 on Windows 8.1 via Bootcamp

Hi,

First, i'm french and i don't speak english very well, so apologize me about this !

 

Je suis dessinateur en bureau d'études structure spécialisé dans le béton armé et je travaille sur Revit 2014. J'ai voulu l'installer sur mon ordinateur personnel pour apprendre à mieux m'en servir. Mon ordinateur à la configuration suivante :

- Mac Book Pro

- 2.6 GHz intel core i7 (turbo boost jusqu'à 3.8 GHz)

- 16 Go de mémoire vive

- Disque SSD 500 Go

- Nvidia GeForce GT 750M de 2 Go

Quand je l'installe sur ma partition windows 8.1 que j'ai créé avec Bootcamp (logiciel de virtualisation), tout fonctionne. Aucun problème lors de l'installation.

Mais lorsque que je charge un projet, Revit ne répond plus et deux icones en bas de la fenêtre clignotent très rapidement.

Existe-t-il une solution à ce problème ?

Merci

I'm draughtsman in research department structure specialized in the reinforced concrete and I work on Revit 2014. I wanted to install it on my personal computer to learn more about this software. My computer has got the following configuration :

 - Mac Book Pro with Windows 8.1 

 - 2.6 GHz Intel core i7 (turbo boost up to 3.8 GHz)

 - 16 Go memory

 - Disc SSD 500 Go

 Nvidia GeForce GT 750M - 2 Go

When I install it on my Windows 8.1 partition, which I created with Bootcamp (virtualisation software developed by Apple), all work perfectlyNo problem at the time of the installation. But when I load a project, Revit again doesn't answer more, and two icons in the bottom of the window flicker very quickly. Does there exist solution for this problem? 

Thank you

I would check your hardware:

I would re download and install it as a trial via he virtual agent (3) noted here:

Hi, I have the same problem, new Mac book pro retina display core i7 2.6. With windows 8.1 installed via bootcamp.<br>Building design suite installed with no errors, autocad seems to work fine, but revit doesn't seem to respond properly especially in 3d views, and the 2 icons at the bottom of the screen (worksets and 1 other) flickers constantly

My graphic card hasn't tested yet by Autodesk because I've got a laptop. So my graphic card is made for laptops. But she's still powerfull.

Nvidia GeForce 750m

I'm having exactly the same problem.

Same Macbook Pro and windows 8.1 via Bootcamp.

Has anyone figured a solution?

Problem solved!

For Revit 2014 to work properly on Windows 8.1 in a Macbook Pro Retina display you just need to personalize the display settings to 150%, like selmat23 described on this other post

Do you have any solutions for Windows Computers with Retina Displays? I have a Dell XPS 15 (2013) with Nvidia GT 750M 2 GB and a 3200 x 1800 screen. I am having the same flicker issue in the bottom right toolbar, along with a faded blue toolbar on the top left. Whenever I run Revit 2014 with the Nvidia card, these issues occur. However, when I use the Intel Graphics 4600, the issue goes away for small models (comes back with larger models since its a much weaker graphics card). I would appreciate any assistance as I need this program to work for my job starting in one week.
