Revit on a MS Surface Pro 3

Hi all,

 

Just wondering if anyone is running Revit on a Surface Pro and if so how well does it work?  

 

I'm needing to do some tutorial / training materials and ideally I'd like the flexibility to do it away from my desk.  I don't need to be able to manipulate any big files just smaller demo files.

 

Cheers

 

K.

8 GB RAM limit would be a potential pitfall.

Hello. I am a Revit Tech for an Autodesk resller (Applied Software). I train and perfrom tech support on my Surface 3. It does have its limitations due to only having 8gb RAM, but I don't use it for production.

 

For doing light work, and No production it works like a charm.

 

The only pitfal perse is I have my text on my display zoomed to 150%. When you do this some of the text in schedule gets cut off. Almost like the rows aren't all enough to fit the text. The remedy is to be at 100% but then ALL the text and icons on screen are tiny.

 

If you have any further questions please feel free to reach out to me at rkremer@asti.com
