Also, to ensure that this works properly, n the Revit.ini, make sure that the line "AllowPressAndDrag" is set to =1
If it's not, the journal file will not complete and you will be asked to enter interactive mode.
It might be a good idea to back up your Revit.ini file and clean it up for the run as well. Just making sure that you don't have any "External Applications" listed in the Revit.ini file that return error messages on startup related to not being able to load them. _______________

Hi There,
Thanks for joining the revitinfo community!
Please Read the "readme.txt" file that was in the package I posted and make sure you have done everything listed in the file.
Notably, for international users, you have to change your Revit.ini file language default to english (ENU) for AUbench to work properly.
Please post back and let us all know what you figured out! _______________

Another thing to check that's not in the text file is the default paths that are in the Journal File.
1) Open the "AUBench-Journal2010" file in Notepad.
2) Change the default paths in the red boxed area of the attached screenshot to be correct for your machine.
3) Make sure you are putting the AUbench folder in the root of your C:\ drive as stated in the Readme.txt file and that you are also modifying your Revit.ini file accordingly. _______________

I am getting very poor performance from one of my workstations:
Dual Intel Xeon DP 5050 3.0GHz 2MB cache
8GB RAM
150GB Western Digital Raptor 10K rpm SATA
PNY Quadro FX3800 (latest nVidia drivers and AutoCAD performance drivers installed)
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Revit 2010
Results:
14 -- opening and loading the custom template
25 -- creating the floors levels and grids
79 -- creating a group of walls and doors
175 -- modifying the group by adding a curtain wall
61 -- creating the exterior curtain wall
27 -- creating the sections
28 -- changing the curtain wall panel type
73 -- create 3d view and render
76 -- export all views
Total Time = 558 ouch
Do you think it could be the older processors with low L2 cache? Last Edit on:4/7/2010 1:15:58 PM | |

Hi Michael, welcome to the forum!
Yes, I think the low L2 Cache is probably part of the problem. Also, do you know what frequency your RAM is running? Is it DDR2 @ 800 mhz or what?
How much RAM was available when you ran the test? Are you sure you didn't have any other processes running?
Given that the majority of this test is run only using one of the CPU cores, I would think your machine should be at least somewhat close to the performance of my workstation (the first post above).
Lastly, did you let the entire test complete?...i.e...it should run like 10 tests in a row, so you can make sure and get an average of all the tests...did you post the average or just the first test...the first test is always slower in my experience.
Let me know about my questions, so I can try to help further. _______________

The RAM is FB-DDR2 PC2-5300 (333Mhz). I did only let the test run one time. I'll run it again and let it finish. I thought it was only going to run once. It appeared to close Revit and be complete. Will Revit open back up and kick off running again? | |

Okay, yeah, the RAM is a HUGE issue. Upgrading that will probably be a huge part, without even touching the processor, although both are contributing to the issue.
Yes, it will automatically open Revit back up...that's part of the test.
Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, I'm always glad to help however I can! _______________

Hi There, no it won't but I am about to make a new thread with the 2011 AU Bench files.
Look for that within the next hour or so!
Thanks for joining Revitinfo.com! _______________
