I'd just move the structure, but in Pro, right click on the terrain perimeter after it's moved to floor 1. Select Convert Polyline, then choose Terrain Perimeter. This may make the program see this as a Terrain. Otherwise, Edit>Edit Area>Edit Area (All Floors) to move the building to floor 2, then delete floor 1. Do this in a copy of your plan just in case.

You have Walls, Main Layer Only checked -- uncheck it.

Insert a new floor under the house. Use one of the available tools -- Soffit, Slab, Closed Shape from library to create the columns. You can set the roof materials, I think, in your roof defaults. Not sure about the metal framing. I believe you would need Pro for that.

My understanding is that a plan may have multiple layout files associated with it, but each layout may only have 1 page. Which is what DJP said. You don't need an individual plan for each layout, your save as is for the unique layout file.

How does it look one level up? How about using a Full Camera to have a look.

Take a standard base cabinet, make it 1” deep, or maybe ¾”. Change the unwanted parts to Insulation Air Gap to make them invisible. Adjust the size of the door and height of the cabinet as needed. Place it against the side of another cabinet and Control-Drag into position.

Don't understand what you are modeling. How is the "deck is supported on two sides with walls"? You might consider using Balcony instead of Deck for the room type. Suite lacks the framing tools you need.

I'd let the program get new content, but you should be able to import the libraries.

SketchUp walls won't be HD walls -- just place holders. What's showing in the materials list that you don't want? Set the walls to Invisible and nothing will show in the list. Do your plan and print, then set unwanted walls to Invisible, run Materials.

No changes. Opened it and took a look. Maybe I need to offer that as a paid service?

Make the bottom tread a landing. You can shape the edge like any other polyline.

Looks OK here.

That's the answer.

Research winders, or just use landings to make the pie shaped treads. Don't understand "how do I make the first two treads curved e.g where there is no side wall against the first two treads?" What's the issue?

Why do you say that? Law has suite, I modeled a test house in my copy of Suite to make sure it could be done. If you are stuck, post your plan and or screen captures of what you have.

Define a new wall with nothing in it. I used a layer of paint as the exterior surfaces of this wall, air in the center.

You might begin with some information. Where are you? Which Home Designer title (Suite, Pro etc) and version (10, 2016 etc) are you using? What is your deadline? A brief description of the project. Is this a for pay job? Adding your name to your post is appreciated too.

Build the first floor with your brick wall. Build the second floor (it will default to the same brick wall). Change the default Resize About setting. Select the exterior 2nd floor walls, change wall type to Siding-4. They should align.

From the help: By default, walls on different floors are aligned by the outer edges of their Main Layers. See The Main Layer. Your main layers are the same -- Where do you want them to align?

Modeling an as built can be difficult when you don't have access. Have you looked at a Google image of the roof? I fight those pesky auto attic walls constantly.
