Import the Libraries - Core, Bonus, Manufacturers.  Then migrate your X5 User Library into X6.

 

Importing Library Catalogs
Chief Architect library files have two different file extensions: .calib and .calibz. Both files can include any combination of Chief Architect library items; in addition, .calibz files are able to save data associated with textures and images. Both file types can be imported into the Chief Architect library.
There are several ways to import a .calib or .calibz file into the program library:
• Double-click on the file in an operating system window.
• Drag the file from an operating system window and drop it into the Chief Architect program window.
• Select Library> Import Library from the program menu.
To import library files into the library
1. Select Library> Import Library to display the Import Library Data dialog.
2. Browse to the .calib or .calibz file(s) that you want to import and either single or group-select the files so that their names display in the File Name field.
• To select a group of files, click on the first one, hold down the Shift key, then click on another file. The two files plus all files in between are selected.
• To select multiple files individually, click on one, hold down the Ctrl key, then click on additional files. Only the files you click on are selected.
• To select all files in the directory, click on one and press Ctrl + A. Only do this if you wish to import all files in the folder.
3. Click the Open button.
4. A progress bar will display, telling you the progress of each library data file as it is imported. Once imported, each file will be located in the User Catalog.
When a .calib or .calibz file is imported into the program, its contents are automatically placed in the User Catalog. Any images or textures saved in a .calibz file will be copied into the Chief Architect X6 Data\ Images and Textures folders for backup purposes. The program will only reference these copies if it cannot locate the files in their original locations. See Chief Architect Data.
Legacy Library Conversion
If you have Chief Architect X5 library content, the initial startup of Chief Architect X6 will give you the option to migrate this content for use in Chief Architect X6. See Migrating Library Catalogs.
You can also import legacy .calib and .calibz files created in Chief Architect X4, X3, or X2 for use in version X6 at any time. See Exporting Library Catalogs.

Chief has instructions for performing your upgrade installation, including migrating libraries, etc.  Find the instructions and you should be able to complete the process.  You might check in Help (F1) ... the info might be there.
