Learn memory-based strategies to improve
Revit LT performance.
Installed RAM
- 16GB is recommended. Larger, more complex models make use of more RAM.
- The amount of local machine RAM required is approximately 20 times the size of your compacted central project file. Inadequate RAM can significantly hurt model performance.
- The quantity of RAM available to
Revit LT depends on the Windows operating system environment.
- Revit LT rendering operates in a separate process and could benefit from memory available beyond the limits accessible by the
Revit LT application itself.
- Memory specifications vary, but higher speed low latency dual channel RAM yields significant performance benefits.
Management
Revit LT maintains model data in memory and hard disk caches to increase performance against repeated data access. As a consequence of extended model manipulation,
Revit LT performance may benefit from an application restart, especially before triggering the following memory-intensive tasks:
- Printing
- Rendering
- Exporting
- Upgrading models to the current
Revit LT version.
