See the images. Setting marked in red.

I asked the same question of Tech Support recently, and their answer was the same as Kat. Really frustrating trying to apply color as it becomes a guessing game as to which will look correct.

Read up on "Roof Cuts Wall at Bottom", and "Lower Wall Type When Split by Butting Roof".

I did this in Chief using a Brick Ledge. I could create a CAD Detail from this and edit it to make it look the way I wanted. These options are not available in the Home Designer products. You do have CAD Tools to draw whatever detail you need.
-
Just tried and could not duplicate what you describe. I randomly placed 6 windows of different sizes, then deleted 2. Material list showed consecutive numbering. Tried multiple times, always with the same outcome.

The program will autobuild that + roof, but it's nice to see someone practicing. Here is an easy way to do it manually. Draw walls in a tic-tac-toe format with the center square as the house. Build the roof planes over the walls outside the square and join at the ridge. Now join the corrosponding roof planes. This is one roof join that always works. Pull the gable ends back to get the proper overhang, and delete the unneeded walls. I frequently draw temporary walls just to have a place to build a roof.

No really easy/automatic way to do these that I know. Once the 2 roof planes are drawn and connected together at the ridge, change the ridge height in their DBX to match the ridge on the garage, keeping the baseline height the same. This will change the pitch. You should be close. You can make small changes, always locking the ridge height to get them to align as needed.

There is a problem with the wall between the hall and the living room. Redraw it and the ceilings work as expected.

Not an option in Suite.

The program often does not auto build a roof as expected, and there are several ways this could be built. Manual roofs are your friend
-
I can't help with your question, but have you attempted to model the Kraftmaid cabinets using the tools provided with Suite?
-
You can edit the texture file in a program like Photoshop to change the grout, and change the pattern file with the adjust material definition tool.

Notch the roof plane below around the wall.
-
Draw some invisible walls around it. I'd try the Room Divider wall.
-
Make the shower its own room, turn off moldings in that room.
-
Happens to me all the time. The solution posed over on ChiefTalk is to make your own "Room Divider" wall. Create a wall with a single layer, as thin as possible, with Insulation Air Gap as the material. This will always happen when floor/ceiling heights differ between the 2 spaces.
-
How about using the materials list? I don't know of what you describe.
-
Thanks. I remember looking at that program long ago. The Windows 10 Calculator also does conversions, although not near as many. The converter I use can be found here.
-
Use shapes. Slabs, soffits, shapes from the library -- there are wedges, rounds etc that you can use -- search for "closed".
-
I would not bother with walls. Build everything from solids. Once done you can group everything and save it as an Architectural Block to make moving it easier. A custom countertop will accept moldings if needed.
-
There is a Seeking Services section on ChiefTalk. I'd start by posting there. Do you specifically need an Architect, or just someone to draw up construction documents? If you do post on ChiefTalk, I would describe what you have and where you need to go, and let responders guide you.
-
Good to hear, and thanks for reporting back.
-
What isn't working? Could you share some images? You might start by resetting things. Edit>Reset to Defaults Select Roof Directives in Walls. Then try building the roof.
