Revit 2018 running a processer all the time

Anonymous — Tue, 14 Nov 2017 08:35:32 GMT

Hei I have Revit 2018 installed and it continously runs a processer all the time. Starts as soon as I start the program (without opening a project) and only stops if I run a taskdialog ( in a api) but then Robot is inactive until I close it in. As soon as it closes Revit goes on full with one processor. I have checked on a college computer as well and her computer does the same when she starts up Revit.

Is this normal for 2018 or is there something wrong with our installations? Older versions are not doing this.

greetings

Håkon Frank

Did you install the latest update (2018.2)?

Everything fine over here.

Must be something with robot (don't have it).

this should be Revit is inactive. It has nothing to do with Robot. my typo.

Does it stay at 100 procent when you open a drawing?

What version of .NET framework are you running ?

its stays at 13% (one thread at 100%) after I open a project. For my API I am running a .NET Framework of 4.5.2 but this happens also for my college which is not running my api.

When I am not hovering with my mouse over the Revit screen it is taking 1.9 percent CPU.

So 13 percent is quite a lot.

I don't know if that is your case but there are some issues with the older .NET framework versions.

Maybe it helps with installing 4.6.2

What are the specs of these two workstations ?

Ram, CPU, Graphics Card (did you install the latest drivers and did you disable nvidia's "nview"?),...

I think I saw that during the installation of Revit that it installed 4.6.2 .Net framework

I have not disabled nview.

My computer is HP Zbook 32GB RAM Intel i7 4810MQ @2.8GHz 2.8GHz with NVIDIA Quadro K2100M graphic card

You can check the .NET framework version.

Type "regedit" at start

And check under Microsoft

Check the Nvidia drivers as well (you never know)

I have Version 4.6.2 of .NET framework and Driver version 361.80. I tryed to turn of the hardware acceleration in the Revit options but it had no effect on the processor.

This is anoying as the fan in the computer is on constant and will propably to last very long this way.

Framework should be ok.

If you are sure Revit is using the Nvidia (not the built in intel graphics "card" in the processor) I would try to install the latest nvidia drivers.

Did you install third party software as an addon for revit ?

This is where the problem is COWI has an ribbon that is loaded and if I remove that addin file then Revit stops this. Guess they have to go through their addins now. Thanks for the help.
