Sketch Rendering causing AC25 Freezeup

Is anyone else experiencing this or know what is happening? Doing a simple project 3d Sketch Rendering like I have done hundreds of times before, but in this particular project file it is continually freezing AC25 and forcing me to Force Quit the application. Seems to get hung up on 16 | Adding Fills phase. I have no idea why this is happening - have tried to repair and reopen and still keeps happening. I recently added Cadimage Coverings tool to my AC25. Could the new claddings be causing this?

Are there any symbol fills in your sketch that it might be having trouble with?

When I've had this issue it was either a specific object that causing the lag or it was a fill that was set to too small a scale, so was taking forever to draw.

 

In both cases rendering several layers at a time it shouldn't take too long to find the culprit.

I found the culprit! Indoor Plants _US from manuBIM. Turned off the Entourage layer that the plants were on and everything fine again.

 

Thank you gentlemen!
