Has anybody had any luck using 2 monitors with Revit like you can with AutoCAD?
Thanks
Roger

I used it for a bit, but now you won't get any benefit from doing so. As soon as Revit will have menu boxes you can tear off it will become useful, you will be able to have all your tool bars on one screen and work area on the other...
till that time comes, get yourself a nice 20" lcd...

I use THREE monitors with Revit. I have a Matrox Parhelia P750 video card, 2 gig of ram and dual opteron 246 CPU's, and it all works beautifully. The plan is displayed on one screen (nearest the icons etc. for quick mouse access), the model on another, and the third screen is split into four windows to display each elevation. Any time you make a change, in any view, all the other views update in real time automatically. One of the best features of the Matrox Parhelia card is that each time you save a drawing, the window positions/sizes & locations are saved with that drawing, son next time you open the drawing, each windows knows it's place and size and which screen to go to. I only wish nVidia or ATI cards could do three screens etc, 'cause Matrox cards are a bit slow.
Monitors are cheap, DO IT !!
Heres a pic of my setup. HTH

riksta,
very nice what about one for details and another for firefox with the Revit city site? just joking it does look good.
the major cards from Nvidia and ATI (like the FireGL V3200 I'm running) have 2 monitors output, would be good if one could get all the menus to one small screen and the work area on the big one...
