System Requirements

SettingDescription
System Requirements

LumenRT is a 64-bit application, designed for WindowsR 64 bit Win 10 operating systems. LumenRT is either CPU or GPU intensive depending on the task being performed. The pre-processing phase is CPU intensive while the navigation/viewing process is GPU intensive.

Performance of the software is directly related to the power of the system running it. LumenRT is optimized to make the best of all the processors/cores on your system. The power of your video board directly impacts the frame-rate during real-time 3D play-back.

Supported LumenRT Export Plugin Applications
  • Autodesk Revit Version 2018 or later
  • Bentley MicroStation CONNECT Edition, including all Bentley MicroStation CONNECT Edition apps (e.g. OpenBuildings Designer, OpenRoads Designer)
  • Trimble Sketchup version 2016 or later
