Have you looked through the Library, and checked the Bonus Catalogs available on the website for components. I'm not sure what's available, but you might find something that will work. Another option is to use another program like SketchUp to create the parts Suite cannot. Google 3D Warehouse for SketchUp symbols that could be imported.

Check Help for line weight. The software is designed with convenience features, like auto joining of walls, that sometimes get in the way. No way to turn this off.

About 2 -1/2 hours Northeast on the Rim at 6500 ft. 3000 or so full time residents, grows to about 12,000 in the summer as people escape the valley heat. Phoenix, I'm sure was a different place back then. Here is a video on how I would solve the problem. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/Sk35RA8QCtU?hd=1

It's not clear from your rather small image what the problem is. Could you add some text and an arrow in the plan and then attach it? Close the program first.

You cannot define rooms on the Attic level. When you remove the ceiling from a room, and there is a roof above, the program will extend the walls automatically.

Without the plan, cannot say for sure, but it sounds like you just need to draw in ceiling planes to form the vault.

If your proposed vault fits under the roof, then no need for a 2nd floor. Will the ceiling (if it were flat) be raised in the living room -- higher walls?

The program has automatic features that you can disable by making a manual change, like placing your own lighting in a room. There is a default automatic light when there are no user placed lighting in a room. You will need to use the Add Lights tool or set light fixtures to provide lighting, or both. The Home Designer website has videos and articles, and i have a couple on my YouTube channel (link in my signature) -- search for light.

One step at a time. I assumed this is a Room Divider wall. Change the ceiling height in the closet and bath only outside the main structure. For now, everything else needs to be the default ceiling height.

keep in mind that those are compared to 2020, so there may be new to you features not listed.

Search the library for flared awning. Try the Bonus Catalogs too.

Knowledge Base

Reinstall is probably the simplest. You will need to export, then import your user library, and if you have customized toolbars, you will need to save that folder, and move it, or copy the files to the new folder. Probably need to deactivate and then activate the new install. There is a KB article about moving to a new computer which should apply.
