Twinmotionis a real-time 3D architectural visualization software that easily creates standard or high-quality 360 VR images, panoramas, and videos in seconds! This software is primarily intended for professionals in architecture, construction, urban planning, and landscape. Twinmotion can combine an intuitive interface with Unreal Engine.
Like other architectural design software, Twinmotion also needs minimum system requirements to run smoothly, especially, when Twinmotion 2023.1 version has recently been released and many artists have been looking for a suitable computer for their demands. In this article, iRender will explore PC Recommendations To Run Twinmotion 2023.
To take full advantage of features like Path Tracer in Twinmotion, please refer to the recommended configuration below. Please note that Unreal Engine-based Twinmotion does not yet support Path Tracer on MacOS.
Minimum system requirements are the basic or lowest values, settings, and hardware a software needs to run. However, for a more functional and enjoyable experience, a user should consider the recommended requirements. Recommended requirements are set by manufacturers as the ideal specifications to operate the software.

Thank you for posting in the community regarding the mac listing compatibility. The most up to date information is currently on that system requirements article you reference. At this time we are working on making Monterey compatible with Twinmotion and the Datasmith exporter plugins.
I have just upgraded from Revit LT to the full version and have now installed Revit 2024 as well as the latest version of Twinmotion for revit, but when I try to use the open in twinmotion option it says twinmotion is not installed. I have tried re-installing Twinmotion and tried the workaround on the known issues with twinmotion page, but with no success.
I have also tried exporting a datasmith file to import to twinmotion, but each time the file only contains folder and lights, but no actual meshes, I have tried various different model files and import settings, but to no avail.
I tried downloading a different direct link plugin from the twinmotion site, but they don't have one for revit 2024 yet. As I one of the reasons I upgraded to the full version of revit was to have an easier visualisation workflow, this is a bit of a problem, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Since TM is a built-in feature, i suppose there won't be a plugin. As for the software itself, I already had TM 2023 installed and it opened up fine through Revit 24. Everything installed on the system SSD without custom configs.
I had the same problem intermittently, but Twinmotion just released an update. I've only opened it once or twice since but haven't had an issue. Not sure if the update fixed it or not, but could have.
I ran into this same issue. For me the problem was resolved when I force quit all instances of Revit Running in my task manager. After I did this I was again able to open twinmotion from Revit, it also repaired a broken link I was unable to fix.
For example, one I want to rule out, is if Twinmotion was installed by another user or part of an image, you will need to manually launch Twinmotion once. This will properly set the registry value that Revit checks for when doing the Open in Twinmotion command:
There are some limitations with direct link connections, the Revit file name, and other workflows. Also, in order to use Twinmotion workflows a graphics card is required; Revit will do some checks to make sure this is in-place. There is messaging in the Revit journal file if the commands cannot initiate because of a missing card or other environment setting (refer to the same known issues page).
In addition, for Revit 2024, there are some Revit.ini and Windows Environment Variables that can be added if you wish to skip this display adapter check, for example. Please refer to this page - About Visualization with Twinmotion.
Please confirm the items from the known issues page, and if you are still experiencing issues please attach a Revit journal file to this thread, along with additional details, and I can assist \ confirm further.
Any info on the system performance requirements to operate ? I looked at the website and came up empty? Also, this free version is good until later this year. I didn't see the cost or if it is a monthly subscription etc?
Here's a quick render of a timber gazebo. I did not adjust any materials or do much other than change the grass and background and throw in a few trees. I had to downsize the file considerably to upload it.
I was waiting on King Kong to appear lol....One question: Did this house have a basement? The one that I used had the house floating above the ground...but in SP, was set correctly....just a learning curve thing I am assuming...
The following are real-world system requirements for running Vectorworks 2023. In some demanding cases, we would suggest a more capable machine than is described in these hardware profiles. Likewise, there are some less demanding situations where Vectorworks will perform well on older hardware.
For large projects, complex and very detailed models/drawings, complex renderings (such as large BIM projects, large entertainment venues, commercial sites, GIS, high-end landscaping design, photorealistic rendering)
Vision requires a dedicated OpenGL 4.1 compatible graphics card with 8GB of VRAM or more, preferably released in the past three years (e.g. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 TI series, AMD Radeon RX 5000 series).
macOS M-series: M1 8GB or higher
macOS Intel: Metal GPUFamily1 or later, 2GB VRAM or more
Windows: DirectX 11 compatible, 2GB VRAM or more
16GB Unified Memory (M-series) / 4GB VRAM or more is recommended when using multiple displays, or a 4K or higher resolution display.
Some integrated graphics cards such as Intel Iris Plus/Pro/Xe series are acceptable for very simple models/drawings, but a dedicated graphics card is preferable.
Vision requires a dedicated OpenGL 4.1 compatible graphics card with 2GB of VRAM or more, preferably released in the past three years (e.g. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 series, AMD Radeon RX 500 series).
Note: Installation of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package for Visual Studio 2017 is required. Some Windows systems will already have this installed. If not yet installed, the installation files can be downloaded from the Microsoft Visual C Downloads page.
Project sharing requires high-speed network connections. As the network bandwidth increases, so does project sharing performance. Slower network speeds can still provide a satisfactory user experience if you minimize operations that transfer large amounts of data over the network (such as committing changes to the project file or refreshing a local working file).
Minimum: A Fast Ethernet (100Mbit/s) network connection with minimum 50Mbit/s on upload.
Recommended: A Gigabit Ethernet (1Gbit/s) network connection is required for large projects.
Firewalls should allow network ports used by the Project Sharing Server. The default port is 22001. It is configurable during installation.
The network must support HTTP 1.1 standard.
Server-based LAN Sharing is the recommended method of sharing for teams on the same LAN.
This method of sharing works best with small teams or small projects. It is not recommended for large teams or large projects. You can expect significant speed improvements when using Dropbox with LAN sync enabled. Vectorworks Cloud Services and/or Dropbox are the preferred cloud-based sharing solutions for project sharing.
We strongly recommend that all users check that their video drivers are current. The majority of display problems reported to our Technical Support department have been traced to older video drivers. In general, a recent graphics card running the latest drivers is preferable to an old high-end graphics card running outdated drivers.
VRAM: The amount of Video RAM (VRAM) required to drive Vectorworks adequately depends largely on the size of the display being used and the complexity of the Vectorworks document. When using multiple displays or high resolution displays, more VRAM are required to keep the same smoothness with the same file.
Using Multiple View Panes with different visibilities in all panes can be VRAM-intensive in large Vectorworks documents.
Rendering of shadows and edges are VRAM-intensive. If you want to take full advantage of shadows and edges, especially in situations where you have any combination of the following:
M-series and Unified Memory: Apple M1 and later Macs share memory for general processing and graphics. We recommend more memory for these systems than for traditional systems where RAM and VRAM are separate.
Vision requires a dedicated OpenGL 4.1 compatible graphics card, preferably released in the past three years. We do not recommend any integrated Intel video chipset. While Vision may run under these environments, we do not support them due to their lack of performance and speed. We recommend gaming cards over workstation cards for Vision due to the higher clock speed.
Renderworks requires AVX support on AMD and Intel CPUs. Renderworks will not work on older Intel Macs that are missing AVX support, even if macOS 11 is installed on them by bypassing official Apple installers.
Vectorworks runs successfully within remote and virtualized environments. We are confident that offices that wish to operate using virtualization technologies will have success with this option, if the software is given adequate resources comparable to the desktop system requirements listed elsewhere in this document.
