Try changing this to whatever sheathing you need. It looks like your default has been changed from the out of box OSB.
-
Is the sheathing included in the roof structure? Looking from the outside and using the Delete Surface tool to remove the shingles -- what do you see?
-
I'd suggest reviewing the hour long getting started webinars for Home Designer found on YouTube. Sounds like you are trying to manually do what the program will automatically do for you. And pictures (screen captures) will help others see what you see. Attaching your plan file (close Pro first) is always a good idea too.

Open Help, search "plan check".
-
Run a Plan Check.

Had you done so, you would have an answer instead of a selection of guesses.

You might check your default settings for the Deck room type making sure they are correct. Rooms don't have Components, only objects have them. Is this what you are looking at, but see Concrete instead of the framing? Double click the line and change to the correct material.
-
Roofs build over rooms, so to control roof heights, move the ceiling in the room below up or down. Half height walls do not influence the roof.

yes

Chief has the ability to do some of this. Add on packages are available from several users that mostly automate much of this. It will depend on exactly what you are trying to achieve.
-
Things like dimensions will be a problem because you cannot have a Dimensions, Electrical layer for example. What most people end up with is multiple plan files, one for each layout.

Using Pro 2016 -- newest full version I have. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/TkMHy7ypkMI?hd=1

I believe you will need to open each item, like a garden bed, and get the info there. These items don't report to a materials list.

Pro has single page layouts, so typically you create an electrical plan with things displayed as you want, then send that plan to layout. Open a new layout and send foundation, open a new layout and do framing etc. What are you wanting to do that is different than this?
-
Using Layer Display Options, you can turn on/off the display of things you want/don't want to see. Add your electrical, then turn this layer off when you don't want to see these items.
-
Why not? You can define the ceiling structure to be what you need, I believe.

Thanks for the update.

Sitting at home with nothing to do ...

Wall with just framing, and Soffits or Slabs for the insulation.

If you really feel you need a 3D representation, it's easy enough to do it manually. This would typically be detailed in a 2D section of a wall.

You can. I have 8 trial versions installed of various titles.

Sorry, Architectural does not have that feature -- another Pro only tool. Try changing that wall to an interior wall type, then use a Custom Backsplash on the exterior above to create a surface to apply siding to.
