32-bit vs. 64-bit Operating Systems (WIN7)
The conclusion? Well, it depends on what you use your system for. If you
have a 64 bit capable CPU but use older hardware, it would be safe to stay
with a 32 bit version for the time being to ensure that you don’t need extra
upgrades.
If you’ve got the latest hardware and drivers are available, then it would be
worth while taking the step up to a 64 bit OS. If you regularly work with
resource hungry applications that are 64 bit optimised (such as video editing,
CAD and image packages) then it would be especially beneficial to be able
to work with over 4GB of RAM amongst the other improvements.
Now, 64 bit computing will be a common standard – as all hardware from
the last couple of years has been designed with this in mind. Until a complete
upgrade cycle has passed for the majority of users, there is still a strong case
for some users to stick with 32 bit Windows for the time being. Once more 64
bit applications start to appear, it would be a good time to make the switch to
the new architecture.

RAM
While the additional RAM will help achieve a boost in BIM productivity for
some users, it is important to note that in the majority of scenarios this will
not be beneficial.
Installing additional RAM might help some users increase their productivity
while using BIM, but in most cases the BIM system requirements are
sufficient.

Graphic Cards
Professional" vs. "Gaming" video cards
Graphic card manufacturers typically have different product lines targeted for "gamers" and
"professional users". While the hardware setup is very similar in case of both cards, there are key
differences in their firmware and driver. "Gamer" cards (such as Nvidia GeForce and Ati Radeon)
are optimized for 3D games, where speed is more important than image quality. Typically a 3D model
in a game contains a low number of polygons with textures applied to them, while in CAD polygon
count is high, and the quality of the still image of the wireframe or shaded model is more important
than navigation speed. Also, professional cards' memory usage is optimized for using multiple
application windows, while in gaming this is not relevant. Another key difference between the two
product lines is the way they are delivered and supported. Professional cards (such as Nvidia Quadro
and ATi FireGL) are built according to the video chip manufacturer's references, so you can always
be sure that the driver delivered by the video chip manufacturer (e.g. Nvidia or ATI) fits your card.
Installing video card drivers (Windows)
Video cards only perform properly if they have a hardware vendor supplied driver (not system built-in
driver) installed correctly. It may happen that remnants of a previous installation interfere with the
current driver installation. If you experience display issues with the drivers listed below, please "clean-
install" the driver again. "Clean-install" means removing all previous driver files before installing a new
driver. Unfortunately, a simple uninstall may not efficiently remove all components of a driver. There
are tools that can do it, like ATI's cat uninstaller cat uninstaller or third party tools like driver cleaner or
driver cleaner pro 1.5
You can find a description how to identify the current driver version of your NVIDIA card: NVIDA

Graphic Cards
OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a standard specification defining a cross-language,
cross-platform API for writing applications that produce 2D and 3D computer graphics.
The interface consists of over 250 different function calls which can be used to draw
complex three-dimensional scenes from simple primitives.
OpenGL was developed by Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI) in 1992 and is widely used in CAD,
virtual reality, scientific visualization, information visualization, and flight simulation. It is also
used in video games, where it competes with Direct3D on Microsoft Windows platforms (see
OpenGL vs. Direct3D).

OpenGL 4.1
Supported Cards: examples Nvidia GeForce 400 series, Nvidia GeForce 500 series, ATI Radeon HD 5000
series, AMD Radeon HD 6000 Series
This new version adds these additional features to the specification, many of which help bring it in line with
those in Direct3D 11:
OpenGL Shading language (GLSL) 4.1
Full compatibility with OpenGL for Embedded Systems (OpenGL ES) 2.0 APIs
Reduced shaders compilation times with the ability to query and load a binary for shader program objects
The ability to bind programs individually to the five programmable stages (Vertex, Tessellation Control,
Tessellation Evaluation, Geometry, and Fragment)
Improvements to the general 64-bit floating point supported added in OpenGL 4.0 (64-bit floating-point
component input for vertex shader)
Sample renderings
Refraction using programmable vertex shaders
Animated textures using frame buffer objects and vertex/fragment program extensions
Procedural artwork using display lists

network license.
Create Deployment is recommended for network administrators, using either a multi-

this option to install the Network License Manager before any users can run the
product. Consult the documentation for your suite or product to identify the available
tools and utilities of interest.

The following diagram shows the major parts of the installation process:
▪ These license types are briefly described as follows:
▪ A stand-alone license is intended for use by one person. The licensed
products can be installed on two computers, as long as both instances
are not running concurrently.
▪ A multi-seat stand-alone license is intended to support a specified
maximum number of users, but it can be installed on a larger number of
computers for convenient access.
▪ A network license supports a specified number of users who are
connected to a network. The Network License Manager is installed on
one or more servers on the network to manage the distribution of
licenses to users.

If you are using a network license, choose the server
configuration for the Network License Manager that was
specified at the time of license purchase:
▪ Single License Server - One server manages all licenses on the network.
▪ Distributed License Server - Licenses are distributed across a pool of multiple
servers in the network. You enter the name of each server in the pool.
▪ Redundant License Server -Three servers are available to authenticate each
license. You enter the names of the three servers.

you see a triangular control for access to a configuration panel:
▪ Click anywhere in the product box to open the configuration panel.
For many products, you can select an installation type, either
Typical to accept the default configuration settings, or Custom to
review the settings and decide whether to modify them. More

BIM server – Revit Server 2012 overview
Revit Server is the server application for Revit. It is the foundation
for server-based worksharing for Revit projects. A workshared
project is a Revit building model that multiple team members can
access and modify at the same time. Revit Server uses a central
server and multiple local servers for optimal project collaboration
across a wide area network (WAN).

BIM server – Revit Server 2012 overview
How does the Revit Server work?
Reload Latest: When a team member starts Reload Latest, the
local model is updated with information that is already stored on the
local server. In addition, the local server makes another request to
the central server for any additional updates. Because much of the
updated information already resides on the local server, the local
model is updated quickly. The team member does not need to wait
for all of the update information to be transferred over the WAN.
How are they attaching linked files [through local, through opening central, etc].
activity as possible, where the specific issue occurs. Ideally the user should
include clean log files, where you went through the process to cause the
specific issue. If you can do this complete the following:
▪ Shut down Revit.
▪ Shut down Revit Server.
▪ Archive the logs on Revit Server and then CLEAN the log file area.
▪ Restart everything, perform the action (that does not work,) and then
capture the log files and journal.
▪ With this process you will have collected logging info for only the specific
sequence that leads to a failure condition, making it easier to review the

log files for relevant info.
