Scott is correct about the left inverted truss, I think I found it on 3rd floor and deleted. Truss on right only way to make disappear is to turn of wall framing layer because,,,,,,,,, I COULD NOT FIND IT. Challenge

Climate could be issue, in cold areas it is difficult to keep the underneath "conditioned" for the cold. Give Eric a point for getting you back on track.

You can control siding height with pony wall or wall material region or polysolid or,,,,,,,,,,, nothing is a one click and that's the trick!!! lol

It would pass code in Michigan because or minimum is 36" CLEAR opening, no obstructions allowed.

Yes you can manually draw the roof planes. Make sure before you start that all exterior walls are in correct location.

Looks like drywall and if it is the railing is the guilty party. Select railing and slide it towards exterior of building.
