I see them,  make sure SHOW LOWER FLOOR IN FLOOR OVERVIEW is checked.

Yes,  you are missing something.  Put in a sun angle in and then you will have an option.  Put in multiple sun angles and you will have multiple options.  Note that in may plan I 6 sun angles.

That is the answer

That is the reason.  If you do not like that,  disconnect the railing at the perimeter,  do the shift-a,  and then reconnect.

Build your framing.

You might try changing the dimensioning format as shown:
 
 

Attach the plan.....  but the quick answer is the soffit elevation is a function of the SUBFASCIA.  
 
If you post a plan,  I bet you will get more answers.  You have been around awhile,  you know to post the plan for the best answers.  

A solution is to cut that little wall out,  move window over,  and then put wall back in place using PASTE IN PLACE.  

Those are topo lines.

Here is the answer.  Do not change in the ROOM SPEC BOX,  change it in the FLOOR 2 DEFAULTS.
 
Open plan,  go to second floor,  open FLOOR 2 DEFAULTS and change them to what you want them.  It should stick and all will be well.
 
You probably should of watched DJP's video.

Mark,  I could not follow your post,  if you want,  call me 619-200-1623 and I will do a 5 minute GTM to check with you.  (faster this way for me).

Heres's the poop.  You built a deck around the second floor and those walls are defined as non room def.  Auto dimensions will not dimension to the walls because of the surrounding deck...  I know,  a nuisance....  but here is a work around....  select a deck wall,  define as non room def.,  now do your auto dimensions,  and then redefine the deck wall as room def.

I put those walls up one level. (Attic level). So they don't show in plan. Put them on their own layer as Eric suggests, and then post plan .

No issues.

See if this helps.  I changed the main wall layer on one of the walls....  I really don't know what I did,  but it looks better.

Did you check SHOW SHADOWS?  See pic below.  
 
If you did post the plan.
 
Here is a question....  if I don't want to show shadows,  what would I do differently?  I don't know.  I am not sure what you are doing wrong.
 
Post it real quick,  I am curious to see if I can get the shadows to show.
 
 

Isn't this the T-111?
 
I know,  no 3D,  but that is solved with using bump maps I believe.......  I think it is difficult to have a material get the 3d look.
 
 

Steven,  here is a  pretty good vid that might help.

Did not look at plan, but you might be using a single layer wall....... Problem is with your wall definitions

This was tricky.  I cannot explain why.  Twice it did not behave as expected.  However here is a vid showing how I got it to work.

Elevation lines do not need to be broken.  If you use an elevation region,  that elevation region will override the elevation lines....  much quicker

I do not think so,   if it is there,  why hide it?.  If you do not want it,  select roof plane and turn off soffit.

Or draw a line at the angle you want camera, now when you use camera, start at one end of line and end at other end
