Check Layer Display Settings.

Depends on how accurate you want to be. For the side panels, you can place a door from the library and convert it to a fixture, then resize it. Or build it from parts -- like soffits. No way to place a molding so everything will be square edged. You could use a cabinet like this. No one wants to hear this, but Premier has the features to model this accurately, and to do things like route plumbing (although not really easily, but it can be done. See this video for an idea). The library is full of things -- search for valance.

Each camera type has an associated set of layers that you can set to display or not display. If you do not want to see cabinets, then turn off the display of cabinets. If you want to see framing, then set the framing layers to display.

Looks like the pitch is off and maybe the overhang.

Read about the Draw Order tools.

Only Pro has that ability

Make the triangle room created by the Room Divider walls Open Below.

You need to trick the program into doing what you want. Add room divider walls to fill in the triangle formed by the angled bay wall. Set the front wall to Full Gable.

Don't know why the program is doing that, but think about how you could correct it. What dimension could you change to make the ridge align?

You are, I think, doing this the hard way. If you build a foundation with walls, those walls will automatically get a footing. If you simply draw a wall, you can mark it as a foundation wall and it will get a footing. The software does many things automatically -- sometimes it's not what you want, but generally it is. You want to do a little manual building as possible and learn/allow the program to do it for you. A search in Help for ledger will give you some ideas on how to have the program automatically generate a ledger.

None of the Home Designer titles allow you to put holes in things. You need to draw the slab so it forms the opening.

You should not need to do anything.

@codylv7 Research Textures and Patterns, and how to create a new Material.

Did you choose a template other than the Default Style when you started your plan? You might want to go over the resources I linked above.

Copy windows and doors, replace wall, Paste/Hold Position to put the windows back.

Open the object and review the available settings. What is "lose the tool"? There are lots of videos on the Chief YouTube channel. Watching the recent hour long Home Designer webinar will help you get up to speed with the new version.

I believe you will need to redraw the wall as a Pony Wall, and not simply change it.

See if this helps

What do you want there?

Go to the Home Designer website and search for frog. Read the article to get the basic idea.

Use Soffit Surface for Ceiling Did you try this? How are the two outside walls defined? Also, it looks like you have Angle Snaps off. Best to keep this turned on or it's easy to draw slightly off angle.

Try a curved wall.

Reread and think about what I wrote just above. Start by defining a new wall type that has siding on both sides and use it for the 2 side walls. Draw a wall on the 2nd floor where you want the balcony railing. You have just formed a room. Set the Room Type to Unspecified. Do you get a roof? Draw a wall across to close in the end forming another room. Set that Room Type to Open Below. Use Soffit Surface for Ceiling
