Memory and CPU usage low

[colbyroper]

Hello, I am trying to do a render of an urban project I did for school and it is not using my system at all.  Is there a way to increase my CPU power and RAM usage.  In this screenshot I was rendering for about 45 minutes, no PNG's have accumulated in the sequence when they usually start to accumulate at 0%. CPU usage is at 7% and not even using it's full GHZ.  The RAM usage is at 9%, which is about the highest it gets when rendering in Revit.  There is a lot of geometry and components in the scene which is making it almost impossible to work within the file as well.  

If anybody knows how to get Revit to utilize my whole machine, I would be incredibly grateful.

Thanks,

Colby

Hi @colbyroper

Try disabling Revit Add-ins if you've installed any recently and see if there is a difference. How to Disable Add-Ins for Revit Products

Also, check if you have Third party applications and services (that are running at the same time as Revit taking resources away from the system and potentially directly interfering with the program). 

Let me know.

Hey Viveka,
There are no add-ins and alway render with nothing open except for that
program. I changed my virtual memory and is using a bit more of RAM. When
I render a different file it uses all my CPU and more RAM.
Something is funny with that file, which happens to be my biggest and most
difficult, haha.
Thank you for your input, I appreciate your help 🙂

Hi @colbyroper

OK, so add-ins are ruled out. Just wondering if there are any other windows processes that may cause this slowdown?

Check the Windows Task Manager to monitor processes. If fbxooprender.exe is not using close to 99% of processor power, other active processes may be interfering with the rendering process. Shut down non-essential tasks to make more processor power available for the rendering process.

Please see Best Practices: Rendering Process
