Set up your machine for the best experience
Last updated: May 14, 2026
Getting the most out of Motif takes some quick, easy steps of setup. Follow the steps below to make sure your browser and plugins are configured correctly before you get started.
Use a supported browser
Motif works in the following browsers:
Google Chrome
Microsoft Edge
Enable graphics acceleration
⚠ This step is important. Motif uses WebGL for 3D rendering. Without hardware graphics acceleration enabled, models may load slowly, display incorrectly, or not appear at all.
To get the full 3D experience, make sure graphics acceleration is turned on in your browser settings before opening a board → 📄 How to Configure Graphics Acceleration
Install the Revit or Rhino plugin
If you're streaming models directly from Revit or Rhino, you'll need to install the Motif plugin for those applications → 📄 Install the Motif Plugin (Revit & Rhino)
