2016 revit problems

[Anonymous]

Hi I have been having problems trying to use revit. My computer is brand new and has all the requriements to run revit and i have it installed but when i try to use it it's very slow and freezes up on me. I also have windows 10 could that be the problem? i have also tried reninstalling it and updating it. Does anyone know my problem? thanks

Welcome to revit forum.

Autodesk is still working on Windows 10 compatibility. Some people report problems others have successfully installed it on windows 10.

you may check it here. thanks

Hi neiswecd,

i have similar issues with Revit lt on my new 27" imac & can assure you Windows 10 is not the problem.

After spending hour up on hour reformatting, partitioning, buying & installing Windows 8.1 after listening to tech gurus telling me the problem was Windows 10, to my utter disbelief the problems remain.

apart from the slowness of the program, do you also have what appears to be a small drop-down box on the status bar constantly flickering at a rate of 100 times per second like its stuck in a perpetual loop?

I'm starting to think there is an incompatability issue between Revit & the video card (AMD RADEON R9 M390) even after turning off the Hardware Acceleration as per revit support.

Would appreciate any input.

On an Apple computer the issues you are describing are often caused by monitor scaling.

See for example THIS article on Autodesk knowledge website about setting different scaling percentage.

So try different scaling factors and see if that helps.
