I have been running AC since 2002 using Macs without problems on multiple projects. You can check the wiki for recommended configurations and models.<BR /> <BR /> start here<BR /> <BR /> <A href="http://www.archicadwiki.com/RecommendedHardware" target="_blank">http://www.archicadwiki.com/RecommendedHardware</A> Wed, 08 Jan 2014 19:40:09 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Converting-2D-floor-plan-to-3D-model-on-MacBook-Pro/m-p/120550#M63736 Eduardo Rolon 2014-01-08T19:40:09Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Converting-2D-floor-plan-to-3D-model-on-MacBook-Pro/m-p/120551#M63737 A Macbook Pro should have zero problems... but the devil is in the details.<BR /> <BR /> What version of ArchiCAD? Which Macbook Pro (year/full specs)?
