I remember reading issues about parallels not using the graphics cards as best as it could (not sure if this was rumour or fact). Use the Massing tools to create the shape. Draw a sketch of the profile of the shape. Create reference planes to control the width and depth of the shapes. Create levels to control the height of the shapes. Create a sketch of the desired shape (s). I will use an external monitor with the MBP. When creating a conceptual mass to be used in a project, follow these steps: 1.

I assume that parallels will use the bootcamp partition as its virtual drive. For questions and issues related to Revit Architecture, Revit MEP, or Revit. BUT, using parallels when I need to 'dip' into CAD without rebooting. For questions and issues related to Windows operating systems, contact Microsoft. My question: Will it be better to configure the new mac as 50% windows and 50% Mac (bootcamp) when needing to crunch away on CAD, boot up as a PC and for my other stuff Boot up as MAC. No real problems, just slowing down now when using mavericks OS etc.Īs I now use all PC software for CAD (sketchup, Revit and ACAD) and the MAC side for my photo editing, teaching, ibooks etc. I have been using macbook i5 for 4 years and running parallels and win 7. We wish to run all our programs natively on the MACs but Revit is not available for the MAC platform. I am thinking of buying a new MPB retina 15' fully loaded with 1 TB drive etc. we are a medium sized architectural design firm and have decided to abandon all our windows workstations in favor of the new sandy bridge I-MACs soon to be available.
