Web Client can be used on desktop, laptop, and portable devices that meet the following recommendations.

Hardware recommendations

Desktop and laptop computers (64-bit) must meet the following minimum requirements:

  • The graphics card has a minimum of 128MB RAM or more.

    • Graphic cards that do not meet these requirements are still supported, but software performance may be degraded.

    • We recommend to use half of the available GPU memory for loading graphics in the view, and to persist them during navigation. For models that use a lot of GPU, it is recommended to update the GPU maximum memory in the application. See Optimize Rendering Settings for more information.

    • The default GPU maximum value used by the GVC is 1 GB.

  • The device uses the latest available drivers and has been updated within the last six months.

Mobile devices should meet the following minimum requirements:

Memory

3GB RAM

CPU

2-core processor

Screen size    

8.3 inch or greater

Larger screen sizes make for a better user experience, so use the largest size available to you.

For mobile devices, it is important to understand that the combination of device manufacturer, operating system, web browser, and other configuration options can have a significant impact on user experience.

For desktop computers, laptop computers, and tablets, the hardware and software must support WebGL to view files. To test your system, point a browser on that system to https://get.webgl.org/.

SHARED Tip You interact differently with the user interface on Apple iPads or Android tablets as there is some variation in functionality depending on the device being used. When using Android tablets, we recommended you use Portrait mode or use a Floating Keyboard in Landscape mode to give you the maximum screen real estate when using a tablet.

If you are using an iPad and need to use a single straight quotation mark in a review assignment rule, you must turn off the Smart Punctuation option in the device settings. For more information, see Create review assignment rules.
