Hi,
I’m using Revit 2026 in a Windows11Pro Hyper-V virtual machine with GPU passthrough enabled (RTX3080 10Gb).
D5 seemed to install fine (tried twice), however, when creating a new empty project it’s initializing forever and never loads the actual UI.
For comparison, Blender, other rendering tools and even games work fine.
I found only 1 other thread (Nov.25) about this specific issue but it didn’t get resolved.
Is there anything I need to configure or install in the VM specifically for D5?
Any clues/hints/tips?
I found a workaround.
While the D5 renderer wouldn’t work from within the VM (VMs are managed by my university), the D5 plugin does and I use it to export a .d5a file which I then copy to my cloud drive (it’s the only way to get files in and out of the VM). I download the file to my home computer, where D5 runs fine, and do the rendering there.
It’s not ideal but it works. I can now start evaluating D5 and if I like the results I’ll consider getting a subscription for myself.
