Revit 64 bit multi-threaded

[Archman]

Please make Revit a true 64 bit multi-threaded app!

[rmejia]

Yes Please !

If you are asking because you want Revit to have blazing fast performance then I'm with ya. Keep in mind that making it 64bit and multi-threaded doesn't guarantee anything if that is all you ask for.

I don't care how they do it, just that they do it. "It" being blazing fast performance

[mschroeder]

Internal tests indicate that we are waiting on the CPU more than the local disk, network or server. We have decent dual core workstations. So, if making Revit truly multi-threaded can alleviate this bottleneck I think we could wait another release cycle for 64 bit.

Multithreaded makes sense for refreshing multiple views. Bring it on!

Just keep in mind that it won't fix poor modeling or project organization.

However, 64-bit-multi-threaded is the answer to stupidity, laziness, being too busy, inconsistent user interfaces, unctuous salesmen, knowing everything, and eye-sore architecture.

I really doubt it would ever replaced all those ..... well nice ... terms you used to definie a situation

[LRaiz]

... terms you used to definie a situation

Well. What is the situation? This thread polls users about a specific solution but no one bothered to spell out the problem. Does it remind you of clients that tell architects how to design buildings instead of articulating what they need from those buildings?

... making it 64bit and multi-threaded doesn't guarantee anything...

It guarantees 64bit and multi-threading but it could actually be slower.

Good point. Faster, please - which is almost certainly easier to solve than the actual problem - impatient users. In my zenner moments I contemplate on all the work I'm not actually doing and all the drawings I'm not actually editing white I wait for a command to finish. Many people are mentally unable to do this. I work with some of them. They complain about the file size, and purge the file (and lose important stuff), and wait for compacting, and swap out graphics cards (even though we almost never use shaded views), and talk with other people about what might speed it up 1/2%. I remind them that Revit is doing much more work and is worth waiting for, and that the file sizes are much less than the aggregate file sizes we used to deal with in Autocad xref land (where did this silly obsession with file size in Autocad and now Revit come from anyway?), and that if they spent half the time they spend every day worrying about Revit just using Revit, they'd get far more done and have fewer problems.

Like I said - much easier to just make the program 64 bit.
