Thanks.. Ive already taken a view on that window with requirements, but
it's too vague in the CPU and Video Card required specs.. That's why I
don't knowif the system will run properly in a computer with the following
capabilities :

Hi @Anonymous ,

Unfortunately, this is not the best place to ask such a question.

Please note that this discussion forum is dedicated to programming Revit using the Revit API.

Therefore, you cannot expect an answer to a question such as yours relating to installation, product usage, or end-user support issues here.

You should try one of the non-API Revit product support discussion forums instead for that:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/this-forum-is-for-revit-api-programming-questions-not-for/td-p/5607765

The people there are much better equipped to answer your question than us.

I hope this clarifies.

Hi @Anonymous,

From a general CAD perspective 8GB won't last you too long unless your models are very small. An SSD is also a recommendation these days. Puget have done a rough guide and some testing on this: https://www.pugetsystems.com/recommended/Recommended-Systems-for-Autodesk-Revit-171/Hardware-Recommendations
