Do you have Auto Rebuild Framing on for everything?
-
I don't see that (Pro 2020 Trial).

You have found it. What else are you looking for?

Think of a right triangle. The hypotenuse is the roof, the short leg is probably the rise, in your case 6', and the long leg only you know. Plug in the numbers, do some trig to find angle A. Convert to pitch. Or using manual roofs, draw the roof, open it and adjust the settings -- no need to compute pitch. What are you calling wall height? This dialog should give you that info. There are a variety of dimension tools that may be used. What specifically do you need to measure?

Yes, lower the Absolute Elevation for each room.

Those are temporary points. Search Help for more info.

Definitely a tech support problem. Does it happen if you close and immediately reopen the plan? I've never seen or know of anyone reporting this here or on ChiefTalk.

Look at the Materials List specific toolbar -- shown when looking at a Materials List.
-
Turn grid snaps off, and/or check your dimension defaults for Locate Items. If it's the outside edge, that's the edge of the slab.

Backup Entire Plan will capture all the materials along with the plan file. These materials will (should) be available as normal -- just not in your library. One of the articles in the KB link is moving the software to a new computer which will tell you about moving library files.

Select a framing member -- you can delete it, resize it, copy it ...
-
You can manually edit the wall framing for the single wall.

Auto roofs build over your exterior walls, and wall height is controlled by the ceiling height of the adjacent room. Manual roofs may be placed anywhere and will cut off the wall under them. Search the Home Designer site for cape cod -- there should be an article explaining how to build a story and a half house.

Chief usually has upgrade promotions between now and the first of the new year. You can download the Pro trial and experiment. It has a Transform/Replicate tool that makes it easy to make multiple copies at a specific interval as well as other.

Problems like this are sometimes related to the video card. Make sure your driver is up to date. No clue what you are doing ... To paint the railing, open the library and select the color/material. Click the object to apply.

Lights will snap to the intersection of CAD lines.

This works the same as most everything else -- open the object and change its materials, or use the Material Eyedropper to paint the object. Many items have defaults that you can set prior to drawing.
-
Suggest you research Patterns and Textures, how they are different, and how they relate to materials.
