After Effects Beta question - 3D model doesn't appear in viewer

Question

Hi,I am working with AE Beta 24.3. I have tried inporting a obj and a gltf file.They come in but when i put them into my timeline they are not viasable. I get a 3d rectangle with all controls but model itself isn't there? I have tried Classic 3D and Cinema 4D render. I have also tried changing from Mecury to Mecury GPU. When importing i am hitting 'make comp size' but i have tried no doing this as well. I can not work out what i am doing wrong and why these models are not appearing. I even dowloaded one from Adobe to make sure it wasn't anything within the models themselves. Thank you for your help, it is very much appreactied. I tried Adobe chat but they said they could not help with Beta versions.The screen shot attached shows what i am seeing.Thank you

I believe you need to use the Advanced 3D comp renderer for 3D models. If (like myself) that option isn't available it could be that your GPU isn't sufficient to use the feature.

macOS must at least be version 12.0
Hardware must support Metal
On Intel Macs, a discrete GPU with at least 4GB VRAM
On ARM Macs, at least 16GB of system RAM
