Here is a possible way of doing it not sure if it could be made to work in real world situation the more expert chief users will have better idea of it being buildable
-
To get a real world example if knows a house address i can look at on google or apple street view or can he show something on the internet that would help me
-
It would be good to see a real-world example of the desired outcome, maybe you use a small roof plane that buts the into the zero degrees roof plane

In some way I have no way of understanding, x17 took an open 2 story space made up of an entry and living room with a balcony crossing it to connect the upstairs and made the balcony have no floor. I just want the downstairs rooms to have regular floors without stem walls coming into the picture and I want to be able to have a balcony with a floor. Can you help me?
Plan file link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IrutBfC7KAtPX3-8YIBYHp5JLewMaEBA/view?usp=sharing
See if this file has it fixed you have selected floor supplied by foundation below instead of floor under this room

Thanks Garybills - switching back to rafters did it. Next question - I did something to my gable walls and they are now appearing as dashed lines on my second floor. Any ideas?
They are now invisible maybe you tried to delete them change them back to visible
-
Not sure what you mean try un selecting shelf ceiling over drum pits that was a guess that I thought you wanted but I might have guessed wrong
-
See if that is what you want
-
just manual edit roof plains with auto roof turned off.

I had a real quick go at it you need to check accuracy but show how to get basic shape of roof it might be helpful.

I had a look at your file, you need to look at that video most of the issues are talked about in that video, the problems I saw auto roof not turned on roof, auto deck framing not turned on for deck and roof not turned on for deck rooms
-
I replayed the video there is no background noise try watching on a different on a different computer or phone as for trouble simplifying the model just remove stairs draw a square deck tha get that right then add back the stairs also don’t turn off auto deck framing.
-
Just select an move them maybe if understand your needs
-
Here is a video showing its different than original file

See if this file helps it may get you moving in the right direction
-
The floor plans don’t show the roof plains ask the client if the have a more detailed set of drawings you never know they may have given you the wrong set of drawings.
-
A roof plan might make it easier to understand that roof if one exists
-
Try this file you need to keep elevation data seperate not touching or overlapping its not perfect but get you moving in the right direction

Ya that kind of works on the inside do you think just adding a second floor for the area with the high ceiling would fix that problem?
Not sure give it a go the added floor might be better, if you don't want to see those walls on first floor put them on different layer so you can turn off
-
Give this file a go, with interior ceiling fill walls I drew interior walls and dragged up from the floor and exterior attic wall i adjusted it length
-
Upload your plan so we can see what is wrong

Struggling with elevations, ceiling heights, etc.
