template used

I am trying to build an aws cloud-formation stack following the example http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/working-with-templates-cfn-designer-walkthrough-createbasicwebserver.html

However the stack is failing on creation of an ec2 isntance with an error Network interfaces and an instance-level subnet ID may not be specified on the same request

Could let me know what is missing. I have checked the parameters they all looks to be fine. template used is shared

it was an PublicSubnet properties defined mutlipe times caused this issue .i.e. it is once defined in "Network Interface" and one separability in SubnetId": { "Ref": "PublicSubnet".

The particular snippet was pasted below which was causing this problem

"NetworkInterfaces": [
{
"GroupSet": [
{
"Ref": "webserverSG"
}
],
"AssociatePublicIpAddress": "true",
 "DeviceIndex": "0",
"DeleteOnTermination": "true",
 "SubnetId": {
"Ref": "PublicSubnet"
}
}
],
"UserData": {
"Fn::Base64": {
 xxxx
 xxxxx
 xxxx

 "SubnetId": {
 "Ref": "PublicSubnet" 
  }
