you have to merge in PartWb and insert everything in Techdraw,
with Partdesign you cannot merge this kind of file, you have clones that will interfere with each other and cause a crash

You have too much in the Source property. You only need Array, plat1, str2, floor. As it is you are drawing things on top of each other.
