Notes:
I commenced building this last night prior to going to bed, with the aim of completing it the next day. I was able to erase portions of it prior to this, but when I came back today I was receiving the errors. I cannot even delete/remove the building with console commands (destroy).

We don’t support editing the building while it is in progress (but in any case that error should be fixed). After it is built we support undeploying furniture and placing new furniture through the placement menu, but not editing walls / roof / etc.

Thanks for reporting!

Hi Relyss. I may have misled you with my choice of words, though I was careful to say I was experiencing this during the design process and not the build phase. By “in-progress” I meant I hadn’t yet committed it to being built (by hitting the “Build” button) and was still in the process of designing it. This is happening before I hit “Build” and before my hearthlings start doing anything with it. Hopefully that clears up the misunderstanding, though happy to elaborate further if you’re still unsure. Either way, loading up my savegame would show the building wasn’t in process of being built at the time and was still in the design phase.

I experienced this issue again in another (fresh) game last night and was unable to resolve the issue with a reload. In the end I had to abandon my desire to edit the design, as the design tool simply wouldn’t let me.
