Its funny. It is a paver material and yet you cannot see the pattern as a paver from the plan view. (You would add a hatch pattern to see a pattern in plan view). When I put the material on a wall the elevation still loads fast. It mush be that in elevation when used as a paver (flat) all those pattern lines are stacked on top of each other horizontally, guessing. Since I will never use a paver on a wall, I think I will remove the patterns from my common pavers as I have never used the patterns anyway. My guess is that I have used it in the past but maybe smaller areas and the elevation loaded more slowly but must have been tolerable.

Wow! That was it! I've used this stone material many times before. It's right out of Chief. I deleted the pattern and it all works great! Thank you so much for diving in to this for me.

Good catch! You know for some reason my plan was missing the pattern on some of the concrete. I updated it with a concrete pattern but that did not fix the loading. Can you let me know what you found specifically?

hmmm. That is still a bit of a long time to load an elevation although less than what I am getting. I made copy of the file and plan to slowly remove things to try and find the issue. I would say that from 2000 to over 6000 sq.ft. homes load my elevations in like 5 seconds, maybe 10 at most. Something is in this file I need to find.

Thank you! I will look into this. My issue is more that I have used these patterns and details, with my interior in place, etc. and do not have this issue with other plans. I will try to find the issue and update the post.

I will add that I thought I needed a polyline to make my manual grills, but I need lines only. However, that does not change the generation issue

Anyone know of a way to find out why this rear elevation takes so long to load? I've had hatch patterns that take some time, but this is a normal hatch pattern. It is a larger home but there is nothing special going on with the rear elevation. As far as a know things were fine several weeks ago, but now that I open it again it is taking a long time to generate. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jV7ciZ5kKl3RlMhlDu3jNUWVwwJX1o-y/view?usp=sharing Thank you, Steve Correction update: All elevations I shut my furniture off and my roof. I am trying to add manual grills to my arched window and every click I make takes forever.

Here is my project updated with the new beds and drawers... And the plan looks cleaner now also... And with steps with drawers...

I thought that was a model you made - Wow! I was searching Sketchup and could not find anything so real -

Here is a new Library with updated beds, under bed drawers and steps with drawers. I also updated the layers so they are on Furniture Interior. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1F5EJvmEOQuwSEwg0va-q0Zme2pGv5CbB/view?usp=sharing Here is the drawing file... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dgBvCiB8I092x1HGV-IJfbA5CTKa2Kv5/view?usp=sharing

Thank you for showing me this! That is fantastic! You've inspired me so much I have been working on some new beds. Chopped up a number of SketchUp beds, blankets and pillows... Still putting some details together and will update my Library..

Beautifully done! The bedding is amazing, did you do all that too?

I made up 26 Picture Frames with and without Border Mat. I figured a bunch of artistic pictures deserve to be framed to look there best.

A little over a year ago I spent many days of hours describing to Midjourney, an AI software, what pictures I wanted to generate as I wanted pictures in my renderings. All the pictures have a more artistic flare as I wanted them to look like art work on the walls of my interior renderings. I have not been doing many renderings and so thought there may be others that could benefit from this Library. Here is a short video showing how to swap out the images in the 4 included picture frames. (See more Picture Frames below) Note that the frames are symbols and can be stretched to the size you want while maintaining the sizing of the frames. https://my-plan.stevenyhofdesigns.com/v/NBK8SLgwLnio1i5xZNC9 See below for more Picture Frames Sample of the images included in the Library Link to the Library as it is too large for the Forum. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yn1WXHM2YAnto2eST6H9CPlzx5mcj1J8/view?usp=sharing Please give me a thumbs up if you like these and also show some of your rendering projects. Thank you, Steve Sample Rendering with Pictures.pdf

I had to draw a masonry fireplace onto a pool house I drew earlier and thought I would spend some time making a nice log and grate kit to put into fireplace boxes or masonry fireplaces. It looks good in Standard mode and glows nicely in a Rendering There is a block and a symbol in this Library Fireplace Log Fire.calibz
