Objects inside scaled blocks were not correctly hidden.
Section hatches on Rhino native objects were sometimes not visible on raster-mode print.
There were a bad object in the VisualARQ 2 templates.
vaWallSplit command changed the alignment of contained doors and windows.
Snap points on VisualARQ objects inside blocks didn’t work.
Walls extended to composite roofs didn’t take into account the roof insertion matrix.
vaSpace command sometimes failed to create new space objects from points on perspective views.

Rhino Version 5 SR14 64-bit (5.14.522.8390, 5/22/2017)
VisualARQ 2.0.18.12031 – (2018/02/12)
When vaUpdate is run on a plan view the process does not complete. The CPU usage will ramp up momentarily and then fall to ~0% and the progress bar will say “VisualARQ: Regenerating graphics…0%” and not move. Rhino will completely freeze up and you have to kill the process from the task manager to get it to close. If I try to update multiple va objects by running vaSelAll and vaUpdate usually the CPU usage will ramp up, the progress bar will increase to a value less than 100%, then stop, CPU usage will fall to ~0% and Rhino will completely freeze up and you have to kill the process from the task manager to get it to close. I have not had any issue trying to update individual Section Views.
The “Shop6.3dm” file does not have a problem. I made changes and additions which cause the problem in “Shop7_Bad.3dm”. I have not been able to figure out which changes are causing this issue. The only work around I have found is to delete the plan view and create another one. I had originally dismissed this but now I have another design I am working on that is having the same problem.
I just tried the 2.0.19 build you shared. It has appeared to resolve the issue I was having. I tried on three different files that had the problem and it now works.
