Businesses prefer Autodesk Inc. products as the company has a clear virtualization strategy and has come up with licensing and certifications that users can use their applications in a virtual environment. Autodesk is also a Citrix partner for running its Citrix-ready products<\/a>. We bring you an abstract on how designers can use Revit and Revit Server (the server application of Revit) on the Citrix environment and the best practices for running Revit on Citrix.<\/p>\n

Autodesk Revit<\/h2>\n

Revit and Revit Server (the server application of Revit) from Autodesk include tools for architectural design specially built for Building Information Modelling (BIM) with features of architectural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP), structural engineering, and construction designs. Revit\u2019s 3D components interpret the model with 2D drafting elements and are also capable of 4-dimensional building information modeling (BIM).<\/p>\n

The advantages of running Revit on XenDesktop<\/h2>\n

A XenDesktop (now Citrix Virtual Desktop) user working with Revit enjoys the benefits of a native desktop session. This environment is ideal for delivering Revit to any number of users whether working remotely or in the same office. Here the Citrix Virtual Desktop users have an edge over the Citrix Virtual Apps (XenApp) users in the sense that instead of being confined to a system containing the application, Citrix Virtual Desktop allows control of the entire remote desktop.<\/p>\n

Design engineers working from anywhere in the world who need to collaborate in real-time would find Citrix Virtual Desktop an ideal platform. The HDX technology, NetScaler, NVIDIA virtual GPUs, SD-WAN features are designed to optimize the user experience and improve the performance of graphics-intensive applications, video\/ audio streaming, and multimedia.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a brief description of the system requirements for running Revit on Citrix and the best practices.<\/p>\n
