Looks to me like it's an issue with the size of the text box you want to fit it in. On your image on the left, look at the space between the 2407 and the right edge. Then on the right image, it's a larger distance and it fits. Sometime just need to drag the text box a little to make it go away.

You might want to think twice about posting a clients address on a public forum like this for a multitude of reasons

Sometimes a beefed up kitchen valance will work in those situations. If the interior of the porch has a different material, transform/replicate the shape on the "-Z" axis a small amount to separate it, then adjust the material and depth of the object so it matches the shape, yet the stone will be as deep as you need it to be

Have you looked at the Simpson door bonus catalog for the glass one? Even the TruStile may help with the 3 panel one. The panel/x-buck one might be the hardest to find an option for.

Did you look in the bonus catalogs?

Go the bonus catalogs Handrails No.01 Fittings. There are several handrail styles to pick from And yes, if you are using the Home Designer series, and not Chief Architect Premier, you should be posting on the Hometalk site, not the Chieftalk.

Think of the math. If the railings are both set for the same height, yet the lower steps end up being around 15" lower than the main stair (depending on your riser height), that's where it comes from. Look at some of the stair parts catalogs out there and notice how starting and landing newels are different.

Well, I don't know the particular local codes there. If you can make those notes and changes, I can get your sketches into a ".plan" file and send it back to you. Then you can change it as needed.
