Hi,
My computer has 8 cores. When the Autodesk Revit is running, the computer shows that only one of the eight cores is processing. The other seven cores are not being used at that time. How can I use the other seven cores together to make the Autodesk Revit run more smoothly and quickly?
My processor model number is Intel(R) Core(TM)i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz 3.07GHz
Looking forward to your soonest reply.
Best regards & Thanks,
Kevin
Revit does not use all CPU cores constantly--only for certain tasks/functions. (Autodesk has documentation explaining which tasks are multi-threaded.)
The CPU should be as fast (clock speed) as you cann afford--i.e. it is better to have a single CPU at 3.6 Ghz
than (2) quad cores running at 2.5 Ghz.
The 2 other factors which improve performance are RAM---how much memory does your machine have?
Our default new HP Z420 are running 24 GB min., some with 32 GB or more.
The Graphics Card has also become a bit more impoortant esp. with the new display modes in Revit 2013.
A good GPU with 2 GB memory will help.
cheers
i have the same problem. I m running an 8 core 4.4ghz hyperthreading proccersor , with 16 gb of 1633 clock speed of ram and a gtx 780oc 3 gb graphic card. now my file has become close to 70mb and it stops for a second while paning or rotating in the 3d mode.
sujjest me ways how i can improve my revit userbility and i m using revit 2015.
Thank you ,
hoping for a reply,
yours truthfully.
Set your 3D view Detail Level lower.
Set your 3D view Visual Style lower.
Make your 3D view Graphics Display Options simpler. Turn off anti-aliasing and shadows.
Hide in View > By Category all the interior families, such as cabinets, furniture, fixtures, steel structure, ceilings, etc. that you don't need to see in a 3D view looking only at the exterior.
Hide in View > By Category all the exterior site families and the exterior walls to have a view of just the floors and interior stuff.
Divide any large 3D view into smaller 3D views...Duplicate it a few times and turn on Section Box in each, limiting each view to only certain areas. For example, you might choose to make a 3D-1ST-FLR, a 3D-2ND-FLR, etc.
Use Worksets!
