On the small gable roof plains you have the base lines on the inside edge of the main layer to me they should be on the outside edge of the walls main layer i the reconnected the roof edges and the stray siding went away
See if that is any good

I have it working but file is to big so I put it on google drive
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CoYTpBBTNXRXu6XqFcW3jNzTxGWrYBZN/view?usp=drivesdk
It was building walls set to retaining walls elevation data crossing retaining wall

You have uploaded a file that is open so it has no data , save the file close chief and upload again.

See if that is any better i got rid of gable line as it was stopping roof on soak tub room and used Make roof base polyline and tweek it at the problem wall intersection, so now auto roofs will only build to roof base polylines so if you change your model you will need to change roof base polylines
-
See if that is correct i just added a gable line so auto roof are good others may have a better way

Mark, a beautiful sight to my eyes, was this done via Substance Player, worked like a treat, if only I could do likewise with the Face Bricks, but it appears the original image wasn't suitable.
Not substance i did it with a program called genetica as substance could not fix the bad lighting, Genetica has slider to try and equalize the lighting

The image you have found is not any good bad lighting and has no grout it will not work
you need a image with even lighting and has half grout joint around it edges.

Try and zip or compress the plan or put it on dropbox, google drive or one drive and send them a link, another option is add the material to library from plan materials then export it to your desktop upload it to the forum or send to chief support

small jump to 12 MB. Takes less than 2 seconds to generate model.
Thanks for the info not sure what is going on on my end with file size jump

Here's what I did: Resize the terrain so all items are within or meeting the terrain perimeter. Nothing extending beyond. Check for elevation region overlaps. That took the build time down to 2 seconds.
Another good tip for you: adjust your fill patterns used in plan view to solid fill wherever possible. If you need to see through them, adjust the transparency. Busy fill patterns in plan view slow Chief down as well.
I tried your suggestion increasing terrain size that made 7 seconds quicker, did you get a massive file size increase ?

There something funky about this file as after I got it going faster the file size jumped from 5meg to 120 meg
Other problems not related to build time, the biggest elevation region is overlapping retaining wall and another retaining wall bottom height has been manually dragged open structure tab and reset default bottom height

Use the rainbow tool on the correct material see what its name is then open walls that are wrong go to wall types tab on the top layer or outside layer change to the correct material that you seen with the rainbow tool
Also i notice that you were trying to get a pattern from a texture you should not need to do that with bricks a standard grid pattern is best to use

See if that helps
-
Upload your file and I or others should be able to tell what is wrong

Upload your or show your terrain data

Upload your plan file to get quick answers

Either have terrain on foundation level or use terrain hole tool
Siding sticking through roof

Watch a training video on manual roofs then you will not be at the mercy of missing information
