Older versions of the program have been tested with Parallels Desktop:

Graphics: The 2D/3D graphical performance was found to be excellent.

Zoom: To zoom the site plan you can use standard MacOS zoom gesture, still it is recommended to use thescroll-wheel mouse instead.

Scroll: In order to scroll the site plan you can use Alt-drag or Alt-arrows.

Copy/Paste: For copying and pasting objects on the site plan, in addition to Windows hotkeys Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V respectively, you can use Mac OS standard hotkeys: Cmd-C & Cmd-V.

Visual effects (version 9 and newer): We recommend to use recent versions of Parallels Desktop. But we cannot guarantee that the program is compatible. On some configurations, with older Parallels Desktop versions you can get empty 3D View window when you switch on visual effects like Fog, Black/White camera or Night Mode. In this case please try to update your graphics card drivers and your Parallels Desktop version.
