Anybody else experiencing long update times for sections and elevations since the last Mac Sequoia update (15.3 with AC 28.0.2 build 3110)?

I'm looking for a cedar shingle siding surface with curved coursing with no luck. Has anyone created such an animal? If not, how does one go about creating one? I'm looking for a combo of the images attached.

I've downloaded the new LPM (Build 3000) and followed the GS procedures for installing and opening. The template does not show as available to open. While re-installing, I'm warned it "...is already installed." Anyone else had trouble or found the so...

Actually, I was able to use Photoshop's warp tool (preset "Flag") on the JPG extracted from the AC library. It was very easy. A fellow ACer, Paulo, sent me an even better image he had created previously. Minimal Photoshop work attained the desired co...
