Archicad on Mac Studio?

[genarch]

Has anyone run Archicad on a new Mac Studio? If so how was the performance?

I will have to find something on line to show me how to do that with my IPhone.

Thank you for your help.

It’s all on the apple web site

I am impressed at how simple it was to set up the Apple Mac Studio.

I used a non Apple usb KB & mouse to get it started. I have also downloaded AC24 for Mac and installed it in demo mode for now along with the license manager.

My HP monitor has a HDMI port so all went well. All my Logitech and MS wireless input devices work fine with it.

I just have to find out about getting my license to work with Mac now from my provider and all should be good ?

Then I will test my project on it to see if the 3D will generate with my fences that I made with CI tools ? They wouldn’t generate after a while on my HP with a comparatively small AMD Radeon HD 6570 with a meager 1024MB graphics card.

The proof will be in pudding as the English say.

There is no difference between a Windows and Mac license (at least not that I am aware of).

The one you have should work just fine.

AC24 all good on the Mac Studio with the license manager. I was able to open my files on the Mac from Windows as well. AC24 loads very quickly now in comparison to my old HP.

Longtime Mac and AC user here. Been using a MacBook Pro with an M1 Max chip and 32GB memory for a year now, and I could not be happier, even though I have been primarily using Archicad 25 running through Rosetta 2 emulation. Both Archicad and Twinmotion perform well on that machine. Even better is the native version of Archicad 26 - it is noticeably faster. 

I just upgraded my desktop to a Mac Studio M1 Max with 64 GB memory. I don't have much to report yet, except to say that setup and installation was relatively easy, even with Ventura. I had to download and install Codemeter separately as noted in this post

I have found Archicad 24 build 7006 for Mac to be very stable with Monterey OS.

I am stoked with the performance of my Apple Studio Mac M1 Max for my small duplex residential project.

Unfortunately I couldn’t program the buttons on my old Logitech MX Revolution mouse with all the support software. I just bought a gaming mouse instead that is programmable with Logitech Ghub software.

My Epsom 7720 printer was automatically recognized by my OS no problems.

I see some are having problems with the Ventura OS so I will hold off before upgrading it.

Thank you for posting your difficulties here, it all helps.
