VBE file working flawless on Mac but not on PC

Anonymous — Tue, 09 May 2023 12:34:10 GMT

Hi. I am having problems with executing my VBE files on a windows computer.

The file size of the VBE file is about 300 MB. It is working flawless on a Macbook Pro (3 and 2 years old ones).

But I have tried on Windows with this Dell laptop with these specs. Windows 7 64-bit, i5 CPU, 4 GB RAM og 2GB Nvidia grafikkort. And here the model loads fine. But after that it is not possible to walk around in the model.

Why is that, anyone knows.?

I believe you need to save your VBE seperately for windows and Mac, Mac version of VBE won't work on windows.

And if that doesn't work, I'd check to see if your video card drivers are up to date.

I have offcourse saved the files for windows and Mac. So that is not the problem.

I have asked the client to update his graphicscard.

300MB! ... and having to ask a client to update their graphics card?!
It doesn't sound like VBE is doing what it should.
@mallehk I'm curious - what size is your AC file; and how many sq m is the building?
I plan to buy VBE/BIMx soon and I was assuming that file sizes were like the graphisoft sample files (say 10 to 15MB) for a decent size building.
To anyone who uses VBE regularly is 300MB typical?
