Typhoon: You work at Autodesk>? What makes you feel so obliged to protect the 2010 version>? Out approcah to the forum is mierly to explain our hassles. The solution that comes up many times has been to upgrade our systems- however this does not seem alogical one. Autodesk would not be able to get positive feedback (rather any company) if they restrict the use to cutting edge computers. This may force users to upgrade- but where has 2010 really improved constructively? It may have bascailly forced users to upgrade their PC for nothing?? The issue in my view is that bugs in programming can be random. Some user may and some may not encounter them. You shoud lconsider yoursefl lucky for being happy with the progamme. Woudl you mind showing some technical drafting that you have done using the programme to compare with the level I am managing... E

I am a Autodesk Revit Certified Professional and Revit Beta Tester, I have been using 2010 much longer than the majority of you. My company (not Autodesk) is running ALL active projects in 2010. No crashing, great performance, wonderful new upgrades to the program. I as a long time revit user make sure to have my systems in top running condition. We use XP 32bit to Vista 64 bit, all kinds of different graphics cards and processors. I even run it flawlessly on a few laptops. Here is an example of building sections in one of my 2010 projects.

Alabaster, Am I to assume that Revit 2010 works well for beta testers of Revit 2010 whom have top machines in peak performance? That's great to know except that's not a good goal for Autodesk to try to acheive. Autodesk should try to make this work for average users. Beta testers? Not so much. That's like saying the Slap Chop works well ONLY for Vince Offer.

Online, i'm not working in Autodesk, and i'm not "obliged to protect the 2010 version", it's a good version, of course it have some issues, OK, if you don't like so Unistall and install again 2009, about the rest i think Alabaster said everything... no more argue with this thread for me, done. And BTW, YES, " You shoud lconsider yoursefl lucky for being happy with the progamme"

I admit i do have a nice machine personally but others in my office use it problem with mid range workstations. I think the import keys are 4 GB RAM, set your pagefile to be run by windows and insure you are using Autodesk Autocad Certified Drivers, not the latest drivers produced by your hardware manufacturer. With my current setup I am able to work in Revit 2010, Max Design 2010, photoshop cs3, outlook, IE7!!! not 8! (IE8 does cause problems with 64bit Vista is what I've heard) and this pretty cool ivygenerator program. If you are on subscription I encourage you to FTP share your journal.txt files as well as your models with Autodesk Support. They can be quite helpful at times

In Revit 2009 - We've had IE8 problems, after IE8 uninstall or System Restore solves the issue. Last week started IE8 Windows Updates autoupdate if on. Also still get some crashes during normal work on Vista 64-bit systems. We've also started and been testing Windows 7RC and have had much better luck there than Vista.

We haven't tested Revit 2010 with Windows 7 but we are testing Windows 7. We like it. Actually excited about it coming out.

if this turns into showing off who puts the most crap in a single drawing I'll beat all y'all. most revit crashes are attributable to memory. make sure your not running out. second checked how many errors you got. like 10k? fix em. Some families will also cause problems if you somehow created an "illegal" drawing that managaes to squeek by. Different versions of revit seem affected differently by this. good luck, and yea keep your machine running well. it is the tool of your trade is it not?

Autodesk apparently is starting to acknowledge that the crashing we are experiencing might be a common problem. Hopefully they can throw some resources at it. I received the feedback that Autodesk is seeing people report crashes more and more from my reseller's support team.

We had a problem with Revit crashing on two different machines, with different specs. I ran GPU-Z in the background when testing Revit. On both machines Revit crashed when VRAM got full. I just tested this on yet another machine, and the same thing happened again. Revit crashes when the graphic card runs out of memory. Running two different 3D applications at the same time will easily fill up the VRAM (Sketchup with antialiasing on, and then Revit). 256 MB VRAM just isn't enough for running Sketchup and Revit at the same time. This is faulty programming of Revit, and Autodesk should fix it.

These are all crashes with servicepack2 installed. So I would assume that its NOT fixed. But graphics cards with 256 MB RAM are a bit outdated i guess. Love the sarcasm, by the way.
