1. What is Virtual Memory?

When working on complex scenes in Lumion, it may sometimes run out of graphics card memory and system memory (for example when importing a very large model).

If that happens, it will start to use Virtual Memory. This memory type relies on free space on the harddisk.

Please follow the instructions below if we ask you to increase the amount of Virtual Memory.

We recommend at least 50GB, and for very complex Scenes up to 100 to 150GB.
