What are the software system requirements?
The minimum system requirements are:
Windows
7, 8, 10 or higher and 8GB RAM recommended, 16GB if you’re working on large and complex projects.
Graphics card (PolyBoard, StairDesigner): DirectX compatibility required which almost all cards have. We recommend the card has a minimum of 4GB memory.
Other than access to the output, the free version of our software includes all features. So you can download and test the software on your own computer.
Mac
PolyBoard, StairDesigner, OptiCut and OptiNest are designed to run on Windows and do not have a Mac version.
However, we have many Mac clients successfully using our software with Windows installed via Boot Camp, which is normally pre-installed on Macs.
Several of our customers also use a Windows Emulator such as VMware Fusion or Parallels run in Coherence Mode, and we get good reports.
