chmiller8 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 For some reason revit will not start rendering. When I begin the rendering on a 3d view (1mb, draft setting) It thinks about it for about 30 minutes and then tells me I need more memory. What am I doing wrong. I feel like I have tried everything. I have removed things from the view. I have made sure there are no links to the drawing. I am utterly lost, and am beginning to worry if I will get these done by my presentation on friday. Any help will be appreciated. Best, C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chmiller8 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 When I open up one of the tutorial files that come with Revit, I can render a relatively large high quality image in 5 minutes. I don't think it has to do with the settings of revit, but more so with my file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Roy Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 It thinks about it for about 30 minutes and then tells me I need more memory. I'd stick more memory in it first. I'm sure a stick of memory costs less than the time you're putting into trying to work around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chmiller8 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'd stick more memory in it first. I'm sure a stick of memory costs less than the time you're putting into trying to work around it. I have the most recent macbook pro with 8gig of memory. I am running revit on windows with VMWare. I have dedicated 4 cores to Windows and 5 gig of memory. When I render other sample projects that come with rev it for the tutorial, they work fine. Could it be a glitch or something with my file?

Lee Roy Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Ooh....Mac....I change my original answer to "Get a different computer." 1. I hate Mac and refuse to use it. 2. I thought I read that Revit doesn't like Mac either? If not those two, I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chmiller8 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yeah, thats probably true, however when I open the file on a PC with 8gig memory, it does the same thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Roy Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yeah, I give up. Lol, sorry. I've burned my brain out for today on other stuff. Where's Tannar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
