I feel like it is a quick fix type of problem but no luck over here

Increase the overhang. Experiment with reducing fascia and sub fascia too.

Do you know about services such as Dropbox and OneDrive?

Then change the glass material.

Each type of camera view (cross section, doll house etc.), and plan view, have a unique layer set associated with it.

The individual layers within the layer set control if the layer is locked, and visibility, color, line weights, and text style for objects on the layer.

The Layer Display Options dialog simply gives you access to the current layer set.

There is only one Layer Display Options dialog, but there are multiple Layer Sets, and Layer Display Options will display the layer set associated with the active view.

The take away is, that if you make a change via Layer Display Options, it only applies to the current view type, and will change all views of that same type.

In Plan view, you turn off the display of base cabinets. In a Doll House view, they will still display.

Take two Doll House views, turn off the display of wall cabinets while in one of those views, then switch to the other, and wall cabinet display will be off there too. Switch back to Plan view, and wall cabinets will be displayed.

What I want to clarify is, it's the Layer Set that is controlling things, and that Layer Display Options is how you access that layer set. 

You can see the layer set you are working with, but because Home Designer lacks the ability to create or assign new layers and layer sets, it does not really matter.

Manual roof planes drawn on the Attic level.

The Home Designer website is full of articles and videos telling and showing how to do many common operations.

Starting your search there is always best as that search also (optionally) searches here too.

I imagine a search for tails or exposed would be a good start.

The built in program help can also helpful.

Change that room to have a slab foundation and lower the absolute heights. Build the foundation.

I opened a plan in Pro 2024 trial. In plan view, using Display Options I turned on/off layers.

You can change line styles and use a single line for framing.

Some of what you show like the callouts will need to be placed manually.

Show your best effort and say what you want, or do not want to see. 

Have you tried?

I tried picture frames in the beginning

Just need to change the picture to mirror material.

Have you considered using a picture frame? Depending on the look, you might nest two, with the inner one showing a mirror, or even one of the framed mirrors.

WHEN I DO AN ELEVATION IT ONLY SHOWS PARTIAL WALL

Can you explain? What's not showing?

I am trying to create panel molding design on a staircase wall  with a mirror inset

Show the wall and try to describe what you want to do. 

Here is a thread that may give you some ideas.

Attach your plan file, or even better, a plan with just a wall with a window in it that shows the problem.

Did you start with one of the templates other than the Default Style?

It's really helpful for someone to have your plan file to review.

Close Suite, Zip if over 14MB and attach as you did the images.

Is it a Lintel?

showing me how to turn the plan view into an elevation view

Surely you can do that.

The easy answer is to upgrade to Chief as these things are built in to the program.

Pro gives you the tools, but they are manually placed. I fiddled around and did this.

@jmyers

Here is the default template from Pro 2020. It should contain the correct wall.

Follow the link above to a thread discussing this. 

I believe there are various ways you could make use of this. I would create a new template (instructions in the other thread) that would use the 2021 template as a base, but with the wall from the 2020 template.

I don't have these installed on my system to test.

Ask questions in a new thread if you need ideas.

Profile.plan

What's the height of that wall -- floor to ceiling?

What's the pitch of the ceiling/roof?

With those 2 measurements, you can build an accurate model.

That's probably an Attic wall, and you can place the windows while on the Attic level. I'd do so in plan, then switch to a camera view and use the center tool to position them over the windows below.

Home Designer has layers, but you cannot do much with them except change display attributes.

@GaryAtAllonsy

What "stumbling around" are you doing? What are you having a problem doing? Are there windows or doors below?

An image or two is often helpful, and saying what software (Suite 2020 etc) you are using is always helpful.

I am trying to label my floor line/roof line as well as labeling eave heights, etc...

Do you want to dimension, or simply label, like with a text box?

Unless you are a State Licensed Structural Engineer you cannot legally specify a foundation type, only they are allowed by law to specify such things.

Not all foundations need engineering.

If a foundation does need engineering, then an appropriate person must do the engineering.

Anyone, anywhere, is free to specify/design a foundation, although it may not pass if reviewed by an appropriate authority. There are places where there are no inspections or code requirements, there are places that allow a prescriptive design.

What is a prescriptive design?

A prescriptive design is defined as "specific detailing requirements and similar pre-defined design options and rules used to create a code-compliant design."

For example, my county publishes tables and details for various common foundation types. I use this information to design a code compliant foundation -- no need for engineering.
