Hello everyone.
I'm new to this forum, purchased CS on Nov 30th via Steam.
Have only 100% vanilla currently in play for my first game. But I had an idea, and wanted to design my own (and possibly to share) Large Turnabout, so I dived into Asset Editor. Everything was going fine at first, in where I worked on it, saved, stopped, and then came back to it later and worked on it some move, with continued saves.
But suddenly about 2/3 of the way through my design, the system would no longer save my continued modifications to the asset. It loads just fine, and going through the steps to save it, seem to work as normal, but the actual save does not take (you don't see the "Saving" indication in the top-right corner. The auto-save feature for this asset also does not work. Other earlier (save) file names of my asset seem to work fine; If I load them, make a quick "testing" change and then save, everything looks OK with the save.

But the last save for my asset (the one I need to make continued changes) I just cant get to work. I get no error message when trying to work on, or save the asset. Just that any work further done to it, will not save. Even if you try giving it another file (save) name, will not work.

But when I tried to create a "New Asset" (not "Load Asset"), I got this error message right away ...

Broken assets:
Custom Assets: Large Los Turnabout.HighwayRampPillar: Duplicate prefab name [BrokenAssetException]
Details: No details

Now this message popped-up when trying to create a new asset, not when I open the asset file that I need to continue my work to finish the asset. Strange, but I have a feeling it relates to the problem I am having, and has nothing to do with a "New Asset" I would go to create/design.

The technical help dept asked me to come to this specific area in the forum, in the hopes of getting some help from those of you who are expertise in using Asset Editor.
What does the error exactly mean ? What can I do to correct the problem in the asset in progress, that I can no longer save with additional adjustments ?
Any help would be appreciated.

PS: The asset has no second level roads of any kind (at least not yet). But it does have some underground tunnels. It's basically using the Large Turnabout in the game, and I am trying to design some underground tunnels to emerge in the center of the turnabout. No decorations or trees, or anything too fancy.

(Note: The file name for my asset in question is called "Large Los Turnabout.")
