I've seen it render differently in different Adobe readers. I've seen it show in some readers and not others. Perhaps post the PDF file, versus a screenshot, so we can all view it with our different readers to see if we all see the same thing.

A few ways to do it. I'm assuming you already have the parapets and just need the stepping? I use an upper floor that draws out all of my parapet walls (good for controlling the elevations and I like to have a parapet plan in my condocs)...I then use interior walls to define spaces/rooms that I can control the heights of that control the parapet heights. These walls can be invisible if you don't want them seen. then I use solids to detail it further: adding the additional stepping. OR you can actually adjust the walls by breaking them and moving them up or down. In your specific elevation. I would probably create 3 rooms: one for each side/corner and one for the middle and define the ceiling heights to get the rough steps outlined. I would then use solids to create the steps. I prefer solids as it is easier to dimension and control since you can do it in floor plan view and elevation view and use dimension strings....IMO. but wall breaks with moving them up or down can work as well....but only in elevation view. Hope that gets you started in the right direction. Feel free to ask any follow up questions.

Yes, unlock the "Framing, Roof Trusses" layer and edit away.

Attaching the .plan file would eliminate guesses, but you can try a few things: make the porch 'wall type' the same as the house wall type, or change the 'attic' wall to the same 'wall type' as the house wall, etc.

Post the plan for best answers from the group. Guesses without the plan would be, wall alignment, wall definitions, wall types, roof baselines, roof gable lines, mismatched ceiling heights, etc. One quick test would be to drag the house siding wall forward onto the porch to replace the wall you are showing to see if you get the same results...if it fixes it, then it's likely a wall alignment issue. If it doesn't, then it could a ceiling height or other issue. Again, just guesses without the plan.

...and (just to clarify) are you exporting from plan view or from the layout? From there, without seeing exactly the step by step process you are following, it would be difficult to troubleshoot. I'd recommend calling tech support where they can walk through the process with you to help find the culprit. Best of luck...hope you aren't on a time crunch....nothing more fun.

Perhaps play with the 'feet' vs 'inches' scaling units during the export process...?? https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00013/converting-plan-files-to-dwg-or-dxf.html Also, make sure you are exporting from the plan file vs the layout file. Just a couple of quick thoughts.

Your ridge is sloped because the baselines or walls they are following are not parallel to each other. Parallel roof baselines are needed to have a level ridge.

Try adjusting the Z axis.

Referencing the entire model to the other plan is a good option that eliminates the need to create the symbol: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/193/offsetting-the-reference-display.html
