Revit import artefacts and RAM usage


Sivert Reidar Hervik

Question

Hi - hope someone here in the forum can guide me towards a solution.

 

I am new to vectorworks and have started on a project, where the architects are working in Revit.

I have Vectorworks 2023 Designer and a trial version of Revit 2023. 

 

1) When I import the revit model into a new VW file, the resulting model have what seems to be artefacts.
Walls protruding in VW, but not in Revit. Windows shifting position in VW compared to Revit etc. See photos.
Internal origin is smack in the middle of the imported model.

 

2) When I compare file size and ram usage between Revit and VW:

a) Revit file 496 MB // Revit RAM 939 MB (Revit 2023)

b) VW 2023 (imported as solid) file 256 MB // VW2023 RAM 13228 MB (Sometimes climbing to 20GB !?)

 

How can I uncover the source of the artefacts / changes?

And is it normal for VW to eat up this much RAM?

 

I am working on a reasonably fast laptop with 32 GB Ram and a 2070 RTX with 9 GB Vram, but is bogged down and have really poor responsiveness.
