For running 3D programs in the virtual environment, use DirectX (10 or 9) from the 3D acceleration menu, and install the VM Tools in Windows OS.Similarly, allocate a max 50% Video RAM to the VM.Allocate a max 50% RAM to the VM (8GB, if physical RAM is 16GB).Allocate only 2 CPUs to the VM (For the most part, Revit only utilizes a single processing core at a time, though there are some tasks where multiple cores could be utilized).So, if you allocate 8GB RAM to the Virtual Machine, plus 1GB Video RAM, you have effectively taken away 9GB from the 16GB RAM (leaving only 7GB for the Mac OSX side!) For models with IG (integrated graphics), do consider the fact that the Video RAM will be taken out from the physical RAM.Get the MacBook Pro with discrete video card - only available on 15” models with the Radeon R9 (2GB vRAM).Max out the RAM to 16GB when ordering the MBP.Download BIM content for the iMac, Macbook Air and iPad. For our virtualization setup, I went with VMware Fusion over Parallels due to a slight edge in graphics performance. Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software. You will also take advantage of the better specs running Revit using Bootcamp. These models also have larger 元 cache, and Revit performance is sensitive to its size.
