On the plus side, this method gives users a true Windows experience and allows users to leverage the premium hardware that Apple users seem to be committed to. Really, at that point you have transformed your shiny Apple into a Windows box. Rather than waiting for Autodesk to release Revit for Mac, there are several options for running Windows applications on an Apple machine.Īpple has gone to the extreme and has finally given its users the option to partition their hard drive and boot directly to a Windows installation using Bootcamp, which obviously will let you run any Windows application you like. Of course, back then Autodesk didn’t even offer a version of AutoCAD for Mac ! The good news is, things are quite different now an we finally have some viable options for running Autodesk software on an Apple machine.Īutodesk has provided an Apple version of AutoCAD for several years now, but still there is no native version of Revit for Mac in sight.
As with learning any new application, and in this case learning about the technology of Building Information Modeling itself, I became obsessed and I wanted a version of Revit for Mac. When I started using Revit back in 2005, I was an Apple Macintosh user.
