While a 32-bit version was available, the was essential for users handling large-scale projects. It allowed the software to access significantly more RAM (theoretically up to 128 GB), which was crucial for rendering detailed 3D models and managing massive point cloud data. This performance boost was a "linchpin" for the era's design workflows, enabling features like Autodesk ReCap , which allowed designers to work with reality-captured point cloud files directly within their drawings.
