Jim, if you close and restart Chief - does that solve the problem?

There's a sample plan on the website than may help. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/products/samples.html

This thread is pinned about the NIVIDIA 40X Drivers

Room Planner is a discontinued app and you cannot import the files into the As-Built app.

X18 is in development with some exciting new features. We expect to preview an open beta version in early July. A final release is expected later in the summer. This rendering shows off 3D siding and roofing.

I would reach out to our tech group to see if they can help.

Did you verify your ‘PDR’ room is in the schedule’s room selection?

Our blog on system specs does not yet have the M5. I have an M4 MBP and a PC with a 4080 - the 4080 is very fast in comparison. I'm sure the M5 MBP will be faster than the M4, but not nearly as fast as a PC with a NVIDIA 5 series.

When you imported the tile, the pattern (vector view) is set to be ‘pattern from texture’. Since it’s a very busy texture, the pattern has too many lines to be displayed in vector views (and other line drawing views). You might change that to be a more simple pattern; and/or show your client a standard render view that uses your texture image.

Assuming you are looking for an interior walk through, use the settings found for the interior render camera video - then - if you have an NVIDIA card, use the 'DLSS' setting to speed up the video generation https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1977/interior-ray-tracing.html?playlist=139

Michael, try setting your backdrop intensity to ~500. Here's a good resource BTW - https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1977/interior-ray-tracing.html?playlist=103

You could open the object, and set its height relative to the floor or at an absolute elevation.

In the Quick Start video playlist, is a Floor Plan Basics video that may help you understand how Chief Architect works with walls.

Seems to work okay for me.
