Home Designer Architectural 2023 freezes or locks up when trying to change an interior wall

[dbschlosser]

I am encountering the same problem every time I try to do something with a particular wall in a plan I'm working on:

When I try to delete the wall or change the length of the wall, the HDA 2023 app locks up.

I was able to delete doorways from the wall, but other changes I try to make cause the app to freeze. I am not having this issue on any other aspects of the plan - everywhere else, I can move walls and add or delete windows and other features. I encounter this problem only when trying to make a couple of kinds of changes to this wall. In the attached image, it's the long horizontal wall below the label "Kitchen" and some cabinets and kitchen appliances. I suspect it has something to do with the cabinets and appliances adjoining the wall, but I can't prove that.

I work on Windows 11, and the Task Manager shows me the application is spiking my processor usage.

Any help appreciated.

It looks like your wall layers are reversed, with the siding on the inside

I flipped the this and experienced the same problem, so that was not the root cause of the problem.

If you attach your plan file -- close the program first, 14MB size limit, some may be able to offer a better suggestion.
