As long as you have the install media, a CD or a download accessible from the old system, it should work fine. Have you tried?

The "Pro" solution is to draw the roof (or correct what the program has drawn) manually. The only reasonable way for someone else to see what you are doing is to post the plan, and with the trial, that's not possible. If you are serious about the software, consider buying it and spending the time to get up to speed within the 30 day return window. If it does not meet your needs, or you find it too complex etc, return it.

Roofs build over rooms, the height is controlled by the ceiling height of the room. Draw what I have shown here. It's a single floor. Change the ceiling heights in the various rooms, and move the horizontal interior walls up and down. See how these changes affect the model.
-
This looks much different than your sketch posted above. Should it? The sketch looks like 2 identical structures offset a bit. Is this what you are trying to model?
-
You should post pictures of your model too. I just did this via Auto Build. There is one oops at the ridge on the near gable -- easily fixed via a manual edit.

Pro does not have this option, at least Pro 2016 does not. I'd send this to support if you can. Use Edit>Edit Area to copy just this one structure to a new plan. Delete everything but walls floor and roof.
-
Each cabinet in the plan has a Label, and the Materials List has a corresponding Label. The Materials List also has a Description for each item.

What you are seeing are artifacts from unneeded attic walls. I only looked at this structure. Go the the attic level, turn on Reference Display, and you can see the walls and how they relate to what's below. I'll uncheck Auto Rebuild Attic Walls, go to the Attic level, and delete it. Set the tall wall in front of the car to show the lower part (under pony wall) to make it easy to align with the short wall to its left. Set these two walls to Through Wall at End.

Zip is fine.

Check your default settings for the 2 floors. Edit>Reset to Defaults
-
I'd be guessing without the plan. Post it and I'll take a look.
-
It's the Adjust Material Definition tool.
-
It's self explanatory -- give it a try.
-
If you build a small deck to use as the landing, you could then edit the framing to be more what you need.
-
Make sure none of your walls are set to No Room Definition. I imagine at least one of the exterior walls is.
-
Your Attic space needs to be a room type other than Attic -- even Undefined will work.
-
I'll make the same suggestion made on ChiefTalk. Contact Chief Architect directly for help.
-
Could you post a picture of what you want to model? Does not need the knee wall, just the greenhouse portion. Many types of greenhouse construction methods.

What you are seeing is an artifact from the wall dividing the 2nd floor. Open that wall and under materials, change all drywall to Insulation, Air Gap. Also try changing that wall to a Room Divider.
-
Select it in Camera View and delete it.
-
You need to divide the space on the 2nd floor into 2 parts (rooms). One a Deck, and one Open Below. Draw a wall across the space, make it invisible.
-
No.
-
What "walkthrough" are you speaking of? You may think of the space as an Attic, but to the software, it's a 2nd floor, and best to refer to it that way. How about posting your plan file (not a picture of your plan, but the actual file) so we can see what you have now.
