Is Revit 2016 INcompatible with Windows 10? 

I installed it for one of my users (and reinstalled it) and he can't zoom on images and there are flickering boxes in the lower right corner.

Someone else had this problem and "solved" it by going back to Win 7.  I'd rather not do that if possible.

Is there a way to make Revit 2016 work in Win 10?

We have a major project which was started with Revit 2016 and C4R and the client intends to keep all phases going forward (another 2 years or more) in 2016 format.  Due to the size of the project we're exploring some new computers with solid state drives.  They seem to be struggling with Windows 7. They are sold with Windows 10.

 

Bottom line: What did you find out about Revit 2016's compatibility with Windows 10.

 

Thanks


No problems here.  Been using Revit 2016 under Windows 10 since 2015.

Good to know @rmoore3 and @ToanDN

This should be reflected in the system requirements page - let me find out the resource for this one.

 

Thanks,

I'd like to know if someone had trouble getting it to work, but fixed it.  And of course, what that fix was.

Any theories on what to try?

I haven't had any issues since the initial installation so there are no fixes needed for me. What problems are you getting?

Once a file loads, we can't zoom or pan. There's a flickering in the bottom right corner, in the fields that show measurements of some kind.

It's been a while since I looked at the user's computer to see the problems.

@Anonymous  this is likely that this flickering is a graphics issue. Have you tried toggling hardware acceleration and checking the graphics card compatibility + checking for latest driver updates from the manufacturer's website?

I haven't try. But from computer tech point of view, you should try either change different hardware (maybe video card),

or change hw drivers
