I had about 4-5 drawing windows open, I was sketching a floor and then I got a repeated error message something like Running Out of Memory While Rendering (but I wasn't rendering anything!) and then poof! No more Revit 7. No warnings, nothing just gone.

I was listening to some tunes on my hard drive with Windows Media Player - anything there?

XP Home, P4M @ 2.2 GHz, 512 mb ram.

Close all windows except the view that you are rendering. Close all other project, family file running in the background. And if possilbe do not run anyother application such as ADT, Photoshop etc.
If you do so, you will not end up with the 'running out of memory' message while rendering and your rendering time will short and quick.

Poof

Everything was gone as well for me. Twice! I was only running revit at the time. I was NOT performing the same operation each time. I did notice that 7.0 seems to operate slower than 6.1 as mentioned in a previous thread andgets worse as time passes. I think there is a slow down that gets worse as time between saves increases. I also think shadows hurt performance as well. I had noticed that I had forgot to turn them off on one view for a while and when I finally noticed and turned it off performance improved. I hope this is a simple bug and not a program that is reaching the limits of todays computers.

It's been running faster for me so far than 6.1. Esp. with project that use a lot of links. I haven't noticed a slowdown with time, but my desktop isn't stable and was having simular issues with Revit 6.1, Photoshop, even Outlook, so I've been rebooting at lunch anyways. So maybe I haven't noticed it yet.

The Shadow 'slowdown' is getting overblown- have you ever worked with Sketchup! or MAX? when running with shadows on you always get a performance hit, no matter how fast your 3D card is... I don't mean to make light of it, but just turn off the shadows while your working, and then turn them back on when you're done and going to print. Or live with it, I'm not having that much of a slowdown here...

But still: 7 is faster for me than 6.1. I can't be the only one that this is the case...
