Open the Room specification and check Build Foundation Below:
 

If they are simply blocked solids, they're probably still getting their line style info from the 3D Solids layer. Try changing it there.
 
Or you could make them a symbol then the layer settings are more straightforward.

Draw a railing manually, place in position and check "Follow Stairs." Adjust as needed:
 

Yes, uncheck Mark as Centerline:
 

 
 
The size is controlled by the text size of the dimension text. So yes it can be changed but all other dimension text will also change.

That would be the Fill Window Building Only tool, which zooms the view to the entire building, regardless of where you were focused. In the OOB template, it's on the right-side toolbar, shown here:
 

 
Or, it could be something to do with layer settings but that's difficult to diagnose without having the plan file.

Your Shadow Board settings are all bass-ackwards. They should be set like this (Gable Only is a preference, not required):
 

 
Unfortunately I had to turn Auto Roofs back on to get it to correct the issue.

Yes you do. Scroll your specification window, it's right below Hide Camera-Facing Exterior Walls:
 

Posting the plan is always best, but I would start by playing with the Edit Wall Layer Intersections tool.
 
Select the wall and click on this tool:
 

You turned off auto roofs. Roof directives in the wall dialog don't work with manual roofs.

Yeah I just turned on Walls, Invisible layer, went into the wall dialog that defines the foyer, and chose Room Divider as the wall type:
 

Point to Point Dimensions use Markers as dimension points. It places these markers automatically. They don't have anything to do with Temporary CAD Points. The markers can be selected, and deleted, but then the dimension segment will disappear. They can also be reduced to a tiny, almost invisible size, or made to have an invisible line style. They can also be moved to an independent layer and turn off display of that layer. Or you could use a different dimension tool if one is appropriate.

I'd just select the wall, grab the top resize handle, and pull the top down and hit TAB to bring up the move distance dialog, enter .01" and presto:
 

 

 

Hit the space bar. Turns off any tool.

I know, that's why you set the material to something invisible like insulation air gap. Then the roof decking is visible. 

Yeah it is. I've seen other posts over the years discussing this limitation. Also feel like I've seen Suggestion threads asking for control of this, which would make a good - and seemingly "easy" - feature upgrade.

In Layout, go to Edit > Default Settings > Text, Callouts and Markers or get there clicking the Wrench icon:
 

Chief calculates the minimum RO by adding the door size + jamb. If this total. is greater than the mfr RO spec, it bumps RO up to that total. It's a workaround, but you can turn off door jambs to control your RO based on mfr specs. Or reduce the door size by the amount of the jamb thickness, which throws off other stuff...
 
If your door size + jamb is less than the specified RO, it's not a problem. But this should be fixed by allowing us to specify a door nominal size, and an actual door measurement. Or allowing us to override the minimum.
 
I know, it's a Chief Thang™

Yes, in the SPV Edit Active View dialog settings:
 

 
The Pony Wall must be set to "Use Default":
 

 

Turn off Grid Snaps:
 

 
Or, you can edit the Grid Snaps settings here:
 

 
There is also a toolbar toggle button for Grid Snaps on/off.

Normal method would be Roof Cuts Wall at Bottom:
 

 
That didn't work for me, which I suspect is being caused by the roof hole for the dormer, but I was unsuccessful at getting that setting to work. I did however succeed at "faking it" by changing the wall to Interior 4 and manually dragging the attic wall down to cover the drywall:
 

 

 
I would roll with this, but if it really bugged me I would send it to tech support.

Yes, set opening indicators to show in both the window DBX and the schedule DBX
 

 

Usually controlled via the elevation camera layer settings:
 

 
(Also available in the Active Layer Display Options panel, if you keep that open)
 
You can also simply set your callout to adjust size automatically based on the text size, so the text doesn't exceed the callout:
 

Set your dimension default to "Use Layer For Text Style" and then in each Saved Plan View, select the appropriate text style in the Layer Display Options.
 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
You can do the same for Plain Text, which follows a similar scheme as Dimensions, but Rich Text will not follow those same rules. You can have different sizes per SPV when you create Rich Text, but it won't change size when you switch views because it obeys a different algorithm.
