Good day How do I show a rooftop deck, parapet wall, scuppers, pedestals, etc in CA? Any good videos templates etc?
You'll need to build a new floor, here's a tutorial from the Knowledge base: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00295/creating-a-flat-parapet-roof.html

It looks like you need to adjust the height of your porch. Best to post the plan so we can get a look at whats going on with your plan.

Palmer:
Follow these steps
- Select your top drawer and then click 'Lock from Auto Resize'
- Select the other two drawers and make sure that "Lock from Auto Resize' is unchecked
- Select the 'Vertical Layout Parent' at the top of the list and then click 'Equalize'
The bottom 2 drawers should now be equal size, Check out this article for more info https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02945/designing-cabinet-fronts.html

Sorry new b question how do I show a sloped terrain in a side clip elevation view?
Use a CrossSection/Elevation camera and make sure the Terrain Permiter layer is turned on.

I have been using Chief Architect since X7...then upgraded to X8. I do not use this platform for my construction drawings but as a tool for 3-D visuals. Looking to upgrade to the current X15. My question is... will I lose all my content developed on X7 and X8? Will all my catalogues migrate with the upgrade?
You can open your files created in earlier versions with X15 but once they are saved in the new version, you cannot open them in an older version. Check out this article from the Knowledge Base https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01209/message-this-plan-cannot-be-opened.html
There is also an issue with the file type used in older versions, more info here https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00279/opening-legacy-files.html

I'm in search of 3D symbols for THG bath fixtures, Hamptons collection. I need sink faucets, bath filler, shower fittings, etc. Does anyone have these in your library that you could share?
-
I'll second what DB said, a picture file is the best way to accomplish this.

Try using a glass panel door with 3 vertical lites and then set the thickness of the muntins to you desired size. In the materials tab, set the glass to a material to match the rest of the door.

Here's a link to Rene's tutorial:

Rob:
Click on the gear icon to the right of the preview panel, that will bring up a drop down menu. From there, click on 'Details' & 'Preview'. You can also do this with the 'Folders' section by right clicking and choosing 'Filter Results'. Rene did a great video on the new library awhile back, if I can find it I'll post it here.

- In the DBX for your roof, click on 'Frieze' and chose a molding profile.
- Then open the DBX for the wall on which the roof is placed and in the 'Roof' section, check 'Include Frieze' in 'Roof Options'
-
Select your rail then:
- Click on 'Newels/Balusters'
- In the 'Newels/Posts' section, enter the desired width and spacing
- In the 'Type' section, click on 'Library' and navigate to your chosen column
- Click on 'Rail Style' from the menu and go to the 'Start /End Posts' section to determine where on the rail you want a column

I downloaded this symbol (attached) from 3D Warehouse for a project I did a few years ago. You can bring it into SU and separate it manually.

Your walls do not align on the exterior because they are two different widths. The wall to the left has a 50mm cladding making it 300mm vs the wall on the right which is only 250mm.

Have you set the room type for the stairwell as 'Open Below'?
