Minimum Profile
The minimum recommended workstation profile for running OpenBuildings Designer CONNECT Edition is:
| Processor | Intel® or AMD® processor 1.0 GHz or greater. OpenBuildings Designer is not supported on a CPU that does not support SSE2. OpenBuildings Designer is not supported on a CPU which does not have AVX instructions. |
| Memory | 16 GB minimum, 32 GB recommended. More memory almost always improves performance, particularly when working with larger models. |
| Hard Disk | 25 GB minimum, 25-42 GB depending on additional installations such as Companion Features and Companion Products. |
| Video | See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on DirectX drivers. 512 MB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by DirectX can be found, OpenBuildings Designer attempts to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted.
