CONNECTIVITYFor access to the software's web based functions (activation and identification at startup, databases, online services, updates, etc.) an internet connection is required (more information on network, proxy and firewall rules and settings)
NOTE
  • (*) Ray Tracing / Path-Tracing technology is currently available with Windows 10 OS and is compatible with Nvidia RTX and AMD 6000 series video cards.

  • Minimum Video Card requirements suggested for use with Path Tracing:
    • at least 6 GB VRAM memory
    • at least 10000 PassMark points

    To take full advantage of these two rendering technologies and enhanced visual experiences, we recommend at least 8 GB of VRAM memory and a DXR compliant video card and support for Windows DirectX 12. Nvidia RTX, AMD RX and Intel ARC video cards fully support these features.

Mac Compatibility

ACCA software for Mac recommends the use of an Intel-based MAC equipped with OS X Leopard (10.5) or higher.

ACCA software products have been tested using VMWare, Parallels, Virtual Box and Boot Camp virtualizers running Microsoft Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10.

The correct and efficient functioning of our software products also depend on the quality of the Windows virtualizer environment and the type of hardware in use.

 

WARNING

  • Edificius cannot be used with the Virtual BOX Windows virtualizer environment.
  • Real Time Rendering features do not function correctly when using Windows virtualized environments.
 

Keyboard and Mouse use

Some key combinations correspond to specific program features and are not directly available with the MAC’s keyboard layout and its mouse. The table below shows the key combinations that allow MAC users to take full advantage of these features. Windows Boot Camp, VMWare, Virtual Box and Parallels and been used in our compatibility tests. All of the following key combinations have been tested with our products using Apple’s Magic Mouse.
