johnny Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Does anyone with experience mind if I ask how Chief is running on the Apple M-chips? Can you do physically based views yet? Rendering? Overall speed? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs extremely well and fast. No RTRT yet (although a certain competitor whose name starts with V and ends with works does offer a RTRT feature so the ability is there), but you can still do PBR and CPU RT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Hey Ryan - nice to hear from you too. That is very good to know. I really don't use RayTrace so its not a huge deal. I am more glad to know PBR works.

The additional RTRT does not currently work on Mac arm chips but is in development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejmarsh Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I have the M1 Pro on my new macbook and it's blazin' fast I'm so glad I upgraded. Also the fact that X14 has a native mac version didn't hurt either - but so far I have been feeling like the program operates smoothly and with far less lag than before. Hope that helps. I bought a refurbished 'new' Macbook pro and it's been more than enough to handle big models and construction drawings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinorwig Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Has anyone had trouble with pixilated camera views in PDF layouts on the M1? I just moved to an M1 from an intel based MacBook and am having trouble with layout clarity in the photos after the layout is sent to PDF. I have not had trouble yet in the layout BEFORE I try to export to PDF and things are working okay in the camera views of the plan. See below. Thanks for the help in advance!

Expand Probably a difference in your gpu. That being said, PC, Mac, or anything I don't reccommend sending live camera views to layout... Export them as a png and import them into layout. much cleaner and smaller template file size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinorwig Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Thanks Ryan! I like to send live pictures and "update on demand" so when I make plan changes I can just click update. But you are right sending the photo to the layout did the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzsaw204 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 i've been using Mac Studio (base model) seen it came out. dont use much for rendering/ray trace for "presentation", just 3D in "working/viewing" is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
