Revit on mac gliches

Anonymous

I am using VMware as my parallel to use Revit on my MacBook. Every time I try to place a window or door onto a wall, random diagonal lines appear and the more windows I add the more they grow and change colors. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and also have changed the "retina display." Please help!

Did you try to disable the graphics hardware acceleration in Revit options?

If that is a default 3d view, try just re-creating the view. The graphic problem might go away. Sometimes a 3d view get "weird" like that and re-creating clears the issue up.

Delete the view first then click the house like icon on the quick access bar on top...hope it works!

 

Mac with parallels/VM isn't a first choice for best performance when using software such as Revit
