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

I have a layer set for my ceilings, I have grid layouts and tile saved in library. Of course it requires a little work for each project but it all shows in 3d.

Yes you can manually draw the roof planes. Make sure before you start that all exterior walls are in correct location. This would be time consuming for a roof expert and a very difficult one for you to learn roofs on. With those dormers you will need to learn to use "hole in roof" process; join roof planes tool; understand fascia and roof baseline heights. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

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

There is always a way, nice work around Graham.
