The master (site) plan is taking forever to update the modules. The individual PLN files are modest (about 1 - 2mb)as the houses are not (yet) complex. Using "Save selection as Module" as I don't want to bring across all fills dimensions and storeys to site plan (will need to bring upper storeys later tho'). All PLN files are clean and well modelled - no doubles or corner windows etc. Updating a few days ago was normal and apart from an addition unit type there's no difference apart from the master PLN growing from 7mb to 25mb!?. My G5 was stuggling yesterday but the PC today has given up - any ideas? I have a deadline coming up and have achieved almost nothing today..</T></DIV> Fri, 26 May 2023 07:06:15 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Project-data-BIM/Hotlinked-Modules-forever-to-update/m-p/30035#M5891 Anonymous 2023-05-26T07:06:15Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Project-data-BIM/Hotlinked-Modules-forever-to-update/m-p/30036#M5892 <BLOCKQUOTE>Harry wrote:<BR />Updating a few days ago was normal and apart from an addition unit type there's no difference apart from the master PLN growing from 7mb to 25mb!?.</BLOCKQUOTE> Did you add any sections?
