Always understood it was due to room types? For example if you have a covered porch room attached to an exterior sided wall, or a garage, etc.

The Shelf next to that cabinet is seen by the program as a cabinet. When you placed it originally it most likely was against that shelf and may have been slightly out of alignment either before or now with the cabinets on the other side of the full height cabinet. The shelves tell the system no crown molding to be applied and the cabinet thinks that it is going to continue the crown molding on that cabinet. As mentioned in that case you are able to pull the shelf back from the cabinet just a tiny bit to get the crown molding.

Open the wall and look at the definition of that particular “WALL TYPE”.

Just thinking out loud here but maybe a ceiling plane and mark the wall as cut by roof below?

In your case @gmdesigns45 it is probably because you have the shelf up to it so it sees another cabinet touching it. Try pulling the edge of the shelf back slightly from the back of that cabinet, or use the molding line method mentioned previously.

Search for how to use molding lines.

Question that might help with the answer until you upload plan file hard to see. But is your loft on an actual floor or are you using the attic “floor” to out in a window?

If you are looking for square footage which works with everything that is not sheet goods like carpet or resilient flooring then throw a room finish schedule on the plan and make sure the room areas is one of the columns.

When you say border do you mean just a line as in a box around it? You can use the Cad tools and get as fancy as you want or if you want each view to show the box around it you can turn on the layout box layer.

Those circles are your Elevation Camera callouts showing and not a marker. Select all four of them and look at the Plan display tab especially paying attention to anything that says size on it.

I believe the intention was to use filters to find items and use your user library for items that you have built yourself or customized for your needs.

Reference set already setup for my 2nd floor dimensioned saved plan view. Automatic.

I guess I am confused as well as to why you wouldn't use the wall tool and set it as the railing you are placing? I am guessing it must be a control of where you want the railing in relation to the hole? If you had it as a room set as open to below then used a room poly-line molding to set your stair-nosing molding would that not do what you are trying to do exactly?

What Dimension defaults were you using?

Kind of looks like you are using the 1/2” scale defaults and not your nkba defaults.

A way to use the fill and line them up across several attached rooms is by using and editing room poly lines and filling those poly lines. There is an auto create room poly line and you can adjust that across rooms to fill a larger area. You will still have to deal with offset though.

Easy way to do it as well but you need to manually adjust the roof for this as it will notch around that.

Select use soffit material for ceiling. But you might need to get a timber truss or some type of support in there anyways as there is nothing to hold up the ridge beam...

As Eric says lots of ways to do this. I would most likely create a separate room where the stairs are and drop the floor to the grade level and make it open to below but setting ceiling height absolute the same as the porch. Then I would build the stairs using the stair tool.

Glad you found how to fix it. It is helpful for other users if you list what was wrong in your case. A little way to give back to the community even as a newer user allowing others to learn as well.

Not for the double panel solid unless one of these doesn't meet your needs.
