Do you currently use X13 or have you upgraded yet? In any case I can help you, share your plans with me and I can then tender an estimate. DJP

What software version and title did you create your .plan file in, please? I can and will help as you wish. DJP

No setting, rather a Molding polyline with attached custom molding profile to match the shape of a brick cap. DJP

Home Designer Pro NEVER has had or will have a "Project Browser", that feature resides only in Chief Architect Premier. DJP

You create a framing overview camera. Open that camera's active Display Options Dialog and make sure all desired layer are on (visible) then export to a 3D Viewer file. DJP

"Build (Menu) - Floor - Build New Floor" main tool bar. Then your are asked whether or not you wish to create a blank new floor above floor one or to duplicate the outline of the exterior walls of the first floor. It seems straight forward to me. DJP

Call Chief Architect Sales for a source explanation. DJP

You have the roof planes marked "Boxed Eaves" but they are not located in the Z axis properly causing the unwanted, crazy "Boxed Eave", aparently you changed the porch ceiling height after roofs were built. DJP

No DJP

We can work on it live online or provided you can, in detail communicate to me exactly what you need and want and I will just do it on my own, your choice. DJP

I can help you if you wish, what version of Home Designer do you have, please? DJP

Start Here: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/products/sysreq.html then get as much above those "Minimums" as your budget affords is my advice... DJP

I can and will help you, if you wish. DJP

You can adjust the "X-Y" location via the label dialog box. DJP

I have been doing so since 1999, contact me, please. DJP

What version of Chief did you use to create your .plan file, please? DJP

Learn to first set all pertinent Default Settings for the project before you start creating it. Any short falls are mostly due to missed Default Settings or Dialog Box settings. Learn to be methodical and plodding making sure all loose ends are accounted for while creating the structure. Make yourself learn how to manually create/edit roof planes (this takes awhile). When you do not know, don't guess or trial and error, find the answer in your Reference Manual or myriad help videos at the Chief Website and on YouTube, take a look! Best of Success!!!! DJP

Place a "puck light" under the bottom of the upper cabinets (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lighting+under+upper+cabinets+in+chief+architect ), then use the light dialog box to adjust the light to suit DJP

I left you a voice mail today, let me know if I can help. DJP

Toggle up to the <A> attic level, turn on the "Reference Display" that shows you where the first floor walls are, then manually extend the attic wall that is too short. This is what you do also for missing attic walls-you manually draw them in. DJP

Place your light symbols. Then in an elevation camera view them, select them then rotate them parallel to the ceiling, manually. I just did this in X14 before posting. DJP

I do such things for people all across the world from Austin, Texas, the only proviso is that your relative contact a LOCAL State Licensed Structural Engineer for the Structural plans and designs. I am an Architectural draftsperson and can share our Architectural plans with the Engineer of record (Ideally one who lives in Waco) in AutoCAD format. I have done this countless times with great success. My email address is listed below. DJP
