Is anybody able to move or manipulate nodes in a .scn file in Xcode on an Apple Silicon Mac without the scene going completely black? The only way to open the scene again is to restart Xcode. SceneKit development is now completely broken on an M1 Mac for me. I can zoom and rotate in the scene but as soon as I try to move a node the Xcode screen glitches and goes all black.

I'm using Xcode Version 12.3 (12C33)
on Big Sur 11.1
with a M1 MBP 16/512

Fixed the issue by forcing Xcode to open in Rosetta. But obviously this is not ideal on an M1 Mac

I'm having a similar issue. Xcode will display the .scn file but as soon as I click on the object the display starts cutting out then finally just goes black. I did what you said and opened Xcode using Rosetta. That fixed the .scn display issue but now when I open it using Rosetta the main.storyboard view controllers are black and wont let me edit them.

you can instead of using Rosetta just disable the grid in the scene view.
