This is not possible unless you run a virtual machine on your MAC or use bootcamp to run Windows directly on it.  Revit is a windows product only at this time.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
I'm curently using Revit on Mac by VMWare Fusion v4.
I'm surprised it's runing very well on virtual Windows 7 Home Premium and 16GB RAM.
Windows benchmark droped form 7.5 to 7.1 at CPU but grow at Memory from 7.5 to 7.8.
Graphisc droped ftom 7.6 to 6.0 on both aero and games scores but it is so flexible that I forgotten it's vitual desctop.
Even hard drive grow from 5.8 to 6.8 compering Bootcamp and Virtual Desctop on VMWare Fusion v4. I did not fount any problems on mac. I did not tried Paralels Vitrualization solution because Fusion is so good.

Happy Easter

I can confirm VMWare Fusion is great
and is almost like oryginal VMWare Workstation 8.1 on PC.
Graphics only DirectX 9.0c on mac Fusion but really fast.

and  3D Studio MAX rus good at it

Cheers

 I've tried Parallels 7 and it was amazing. Unity works like miracle. VNS probably not.
