    Default Revit 2013 Live Ray Trace View

    I don't want to instantly criticize Revit for what sounds like an incredible feature, but I wondering who has the capacity to look at the model that way? My computer can barely handle shaded 3D view (admittedly, it is a piece of junk).

    Has anyone used it? Is it as awesome as it sounds? I'm afraid that if I try it, this relic from the early 2000's will actually catch on fire.

    You do need a nice beefy machine, But it is a very nice feature. Works great.

    Bringing this up instead of making a new thread. Are we referring to the Ray Trace visual style? Because I accidentally clicked on that yesterday by mistake (meant to click Realistic) and my entire Revit application locked up, went gray, Not Responding, the whole nine. Had to force quit and open my last-saved local file with about 30 minutes of work loss. When I clicked on it, I was in a 3D perspective view, and the whole view area just turned white, with the spinning icon instead of mouse pointer. My machine is no slouch, either, with a 2.93 GHz i7 processor, 12 GB RAM, and 1 GB video card.
