Hi All.
Benriver notified me that he posted on this forum about M1. I have had mine for about a week now, 16GB memory and 1TB SSD. Chief is running very well and I have Premier X12. It actually seems to be faster than my iMac at the office. My only issue so far is that the Physically Based camera does not work.
@benriver I am able to get 3D renderings work just fine. I can see all my work in 3D using the "Standard" camera view. I believe Home Designer does not have the "Physically Based" camera view that @Chrisb222 asked about above. This is what does not work for me. It would be awesome to know if someone else is having this issue that has a Pro and runs Premier X12.
I also exported my extensive User Catalog library from my iMac and loaded it and opened on the MacBook with no problems. Had no problems importing and using Bonus or Manufacturer catalogs either.
I will post some screenshots below that might provide some context.
1. System Overview
2. Graphics processing report
3. What Chief Architect has to say about GPU
4. A kitchen plan, here you can also see how large my user library that imported perfectly from my iMac. Each folder has at least 10 items.
5. 3D view of the kitchen in the "Standard" camera view (shown selected up at top right).
6. 3D view of the kitchen in the "Physically Based" camera view (show selected in top right).
Overall, I'm very happy with it. If I need a Physically Based camera view, I'll just wait and create it on the iMac at the office. Happy to try anything that anyone wants to test as well.
