Generating Issues

I am working on a residence that is curved with a fairly complicated roof section. I have built the model using a complex beam profile to act as my curved roof. I do not know if this is the issue or if there is another problem, but the model is taking a ridiculous amount of time to generate and drastically affecting my productivity. I have tried to have Graphisoft Tech support look at the issue, but have not had any results. I am desperate to find a solution to the issue as time is running thin on my project. Any advise is welcome!

I am also having issues with updating elevation, sections, 3d views and renderings since I have upgraded. In certain areas 19 is a lot faster but in others unbearably slow. It hangs on first process for a long time. I have left the CPU run over night with some seemingly basic renderings and it won't produce anything. As I type this I am waiting for an elevation that is hanging. Not sure what it is that could be causing the issue...It's definitely not the complexity seems like a fundamental issue with how the application is processing information.

Guys,

I mentioned this to GS HQ and I was told that you should:

1. Create an AC19 PLA file which has these problems.
2. PM me the location I can download the PLA files from along with instructions on how to reproduce the slowness.

Then I will forward them to GS HQ so they can examine the source of the slowness ASAP.

An update:
Ares997 has provided me with the file, which I forwarded to GS HQ and they are working on the issue.

HI!!
The problem was with the "W Fixed 19" Windows in the file we have received form Ares.
There are too many H-V grid divisions in the window sashes (24x131) and this causes the slowness. After changing it to 1x1 division the speed improved greatly.
We checked out the AC18 version of these windows, and the same issue seems to be present. We added a bug about this issue to our database to calculate the sashes differently.

To work around the problem please reduce the sash divisions of these windows, or model it with a different method.
