Marshawn Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 This computer appears to meet the requirements for Home Designer Pro 2018 except for the OpenGL 4.1 minimum. It has OpenGL 3.3. any chance of this working and if so what performance can I anticipate? Is it time to buy a new computer?

swarren Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Marshawn, Here is the list of Apple computers and which GL version they support. Your computer must be over 7 years old. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202823 You could try downloading the free trial and see if it works. I ran into this when I went from Pro 2017 to Pro 2018. My PC laptop at the time would NOT work. I think the Mac version was more forgiving, but I might be "mis remembering". My perceived performance really did not change going from 2017 to 2018. Your other choice is to get Pro 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshawn Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Swarren, thank you for the suggestion. I spoke with sales and they recommended that I download the trial and then call the customer support line. CS had me download a few sample plans and then create some perspective 3D views to test my machine. It worked fine and I chose to buy Pro 2018 at my risk knowing that my IMac is below their recommended OpenGL version. I will proceed with using the program and will provide feedback as after I use it for a while. So far, so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
