Pass-Through.

I deleted Automatic and Manual Dimensions.
-
Post your plan file and I'll have a look.
-
Automatic Dimensions
-
Soffits, Slabs, Custom Countertops. All are similar, but have different features. Also Shapes in the Library.
-
Turn them off and use Temporary Dimensions. Edit>Delete Objects Check Interior Dimensions, this will delete them and turn them off.

Suite does not have the ability to create Architectural Blocks.
-
It depends on how you will use your model. If you are wanting construction documents that show framing details, one way, if just to create a 3D representation, another.
-
Done with Suite, so it may be done in Architectural.

I pulled roof plane back. Added the front and inside walls. You can auto build this by creating a room where you want the dormer and raising the ceiling height.
-
Something like this?
-
Consider drawing your dormer manually.
-
No. I assume the blue wall will be your railing?
-
Can't picture what you are describing. Maybe an image?

You should post on the Chief Architect forum, ChiefTalk, if you are using Chief and not one of the Home Designer titles.

I'd set the defaults for the shallow part, then draw in walls as needed and lower the floor in the resulting rooms.
-
Don't see a need for a doorway, just remove the wall. The program builds automatic attic walls, like the gable wall using the default interior wall. You can change it to suit, or set the lower wall to Balloon Through Ceiling Above. For the pantry/kitchen walls, I'd just move the interior walls a bit to align, and not use a thicker wall. Or move the kitchen wall out a bit so it aligns. No need for thicker interior walls.
-
Change the height of the wall -- Newels/Balusters
-
As JoAnn said. Placed Half Wall, moved stairs against it and it automatically followed the stairs.
-
I would not call 24" above grade a normal height foundation. What type of foundation will the house have (excepting the partial basement area). What is a partial basement? Is that a full height basement room, and it's partial because it is not under the entire house?
-
You could use the Shapes in the Library like I suggested in my first response above. You won't get framing, but you could emulate your design.
-
I'd lower the garage ceiling and the roof above to minimize the mass of that part of the house. The rest of the house needs to be finished on the exterior -- roofs, windows etc before doing the garage area.
-
That's a railing wall set to Follow Stairs in the center, a normal wall on either side, and a soffit to fill in the top. If you do not have that option, you may be able to edit the wall polyline in an elevation. Select the wall. Hit the 3 key (shortcut to Break) and click on the top of the wall where you want your opening to start. Do the same where you want the opening to end. Select the edit handle between your breaks and pull the wall down. Use one of the corner edit handles to shape the slope.

You are using the Auto Dormer tool. Manually drawn dormers give you full control and are not difficult.
