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.

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.

Check the bonus catalogs for something similar, or the 3D Warehouse (google it).

You should be able to take a measurement at any of the green lines. Turn off the hand rail display.
-
Can you say what measurement you need? Radius is a linear measurement, there is no angle involved. What angle do you need? I'd want the length of the red lines for each segment. Knowing the dimension of the tread you should have all you need to do the layout.
-
You just have roof settings wrong in the walls from trying too many things. Go to Edit>Reset To Defaults Select All Floors and Roof Settings In Walls Click OK Set the walls in red to Full Gable.
-
Use a Ramp. You set the floor to the height you want.
-
No Chief Architect does plumbing plans, but the others are possible.

The roof will build off the front wall of the porch. You have set the pitch and wall height, so you will need to adjust the depth of the porch (3rd leg of the triangle) to get the wall height you want. Move the front wall out to make the wall taller, in to make it shorter.
