Hello! I am attempting to utilize Twin Motion for rendering purposes with Revit 2024 for my class. In Revit 2024 whenever I go to View->Presentation->TwinMotion and select any of the options from the drop-down menu including Open in Twin Motion, Revit instantly closes, and nothing occurs.
Things I have done.
- Clean install of both Revit 2024 and Twin Motion EDU 2023.2.2
- Tried Twin Motion EDU 2023.2.1
- Opened Twin Motion to make sure it exists in the registry
- Attempted to open the link between the software both with and without Twin Motion open and running
- Tried both my project file (which has work sharing enabled), a different project file (local file only), and a blank file
- Made sure in 3D view with realistic textures on and section box off
- Tried running as administrator
- Disabled windows firewall (have no other antivirus software)
- Checked the Revit Journal files for information but found nothing relevant.
This is from the Journal, the last section before Revit closes and is related to activating Twin Motion.

I have an education license for both Twin Motion and Revit. My laptop's specs are a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700H (14 cores), 64GB of 4800 MHz DDR4, and Nvidia RTX 3060 Laptop grade GPU with 6 GB of Video Ram. For reference, I use this PC for not only Revit but also other modeling software and can run Twin Motion and Revit simultaneously with mostly no issues. This PC has one user and is not connected to any external clients.
I am really at a loss here. I feel like I have tried every possible issue that could be taking place and it's frustrating that I don't get an error message or any information. It's also weird that it doesn't lag or seem to be attempting to do anything, it just instantly closes. If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it!
