PlantFactory is a 64-bit application, designed for 64-bit versions of Windows 8, Windows 10 and Intel macOS 10.14+ platforms. Like all 3D packages, it is highly demanding in terms of computer power. Although the application is totally multi-threaded to ensure the smoothest possible response, you must realize that there is a lot going on when you work in PlantFactory.
