Here is a video I made that may -- or may not help. Also with Pro, you have the Custom Countertop tool (read in Help about it). So you can add a countertop where needed. And,

It's helpful to know what appliance you are using, and how you are placing it. If it's not in a cabinet you will not have a countertop. Also good to post your plan file so someone can take a look if needed.

You want something other than this?

Each of these warning symbols marks an off angle wall. Make sure you are drawing with Angle Snaps on. Open each wall and see that it's not at 0 or 90 degrees.

Does the house already exist and you are adding the porch roof?

I bet a search in Help for reflection will turn up the answer.

Check out the Chief forum for performance tips and computer info. You will need to do some searching, but it's a frequent topic. I suggest not starting a new thread until you have done so. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/

It's a hardware limitation -- monitor and printer. Have you tried printing using a high DPI?

Lines at 0, 45 and 90 degrees will always look better than ones at odd angles.

I'm not familiar with the AMD processors but the remainder of the system looks OK. Have you run Task Manager while working in the plan? It should give you an idea of the resources being used. You can post the plan file and I'll take a look on my system. What are you doing that takes so long?

There are several options for how the mouse will control viewing/pivoting. Help has a description of these and explains what they do.

Use 3 sets of stairs, center with railing, outside ones no railing. Not sure what you are after, but you can make the wall wider to change where the railing builds. You can also draw a railing -- like in the middle of the porch, mark it No Room Definition, then position it wherever you want. What are you going to do at the top of the railing? Right now it's hanging in mid air. Change the porch to have a room type of Porch. ------ You have some roof problems that auto rebuild should fix. And please post images directly -- no need to make a PDF of an image. You can use the Windows Snipping Tool to take a screen capture.

Break the wall either side of the doors and set the center section to full gable, or experiment with the Gable/Roof Line tool -- I think Suite has that.

I'm using manual roofs -- much easier than trying to force the software

I dropped the garage roof down 1' and added the gable.

Keeping your roof over the garage, this is probably the easiest solution. Simple shed roof over the laundry.

You are trying to design a very awkward roof transition. Trying to connect two structures with parallel but offset ridges is rarely clean. Jo Ann shows a way to do what you want, but it just does not look good to me. Here is an alternate that still has problems. I always prefer a gable over the garage doors to shed snow/rain to the side. I'm guessing you don't have the room, but moving the garage to the right would help.

Upload your plan file for help. Is this a new build or remodel or what?

This is the forum for Home Designer not Chief Architect. The Chief Architect forum is the link I posted.

If you are asking about Chief Architect X5 Interiors, you need to go here https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/ and suggest posting in General Q&A.

Layers control what is visible in each view. Home Designer products lack the ability to define Layer Sets like the Chief Architect products do, so you will need to manually change your Layer Display Settings for each view. For your electrical plan, turn on walls and electrical (and any other required layers), for example.

Because you are not doing a shed roof

Open them and set the height. Switch to Absolute and set the head height to the same as your other windows. Unfortunately the software will not pick up horizontal centers.

No, and it's been suggested. It depends. If one is using the default floor heights and the other is not, resetting to the default will work, or just make the adjustments manually.
