I am wondering what can i do to improve the performance of my computer. I have a project with many many sphere shapes and when transfering to either 3d views and or plans it hesitates drastically to re-draw the view. I noticed it only happens in jobs where i have modeled the sphere shapes. My first conclusion was a memory issue but my IT guys tell my my computer is more than capable of handling revit 2010.(Plus the job files and sphere family i use are not large in memory at all) My new theory is since it seems to be a generating view issue that maybe i should upgrade my video card? This is a huge concern b/c i have many more jobs upcoming including large amounts of these modeled spere shapes. (Is it the redrawing of the surface of these shperes causing the major delay??) I have a HP Elite Book 8730w w/ 3 gigs of ram and a 256 mb video card. Any insight would be great, i have searched some forums on here about this but everyones seems split 50/50 on whether the video card helps or not.
Thanks
