I just realized that there is something very wrong with the layout file. Looking at auto archives, it went from 150 MB to 3 GB with no major revisions. I am starting over and seeing whether that helps.

I have a brand new MacBook Pro M3 Max with 16 cores, 48GB ram and 1 TB SSD. Chief is often using 50-80%+ of my RAM. It is often at 100%+ CPU utilization. How can I reduce these so it doesn't stop my computer? I have turned off ray tracing, for one thing. My plan and layout is around 100 MB, which doesn't seem huge. Moving things around on layout (set to update on demand only) takes 10-15 seconds each. Updating a 3d rendering can take a minute. It can't raytrace more than two samples per second. This is a fast machine, this app should not be so slow. The computer is a week old. I bought it specifically to use Chief because my Intel iMac was even slower.

For what it's worth, I was able to trick it into not doing this by making that a deck even though it's over a room. Very annoying how much time I spend trying to get around weird behavior.

Not to mention that what they have is very low quality imagery

Why is this railing cutting off the siding in wall above it, when it's not doing that on the other corner? I have deleted both the wall and the railing and redone it and it still does this on this corner.
