Manually draw a shed roof and then place corbel symbols underneath.

Yes, easier to do in Chief Premier but with greater difficulty in HD Pro.

I am guessing from your image that most likely you manually drew the problem roof plan misplacing its "Base Line" from the outer edge of the bearing wall to a more inward position. Overhangs are computed from the baseline, just a guess. Are you using Home Designer Pro?
If you were to share a copy of your problem plan I could be more certain in response.

Above ground
in Q&A
Terrain was added as a feature to this software in 2,000 AD and has always been treated as an "add on". The terrain has a dialog box and part of that dialog box is an input box called "Building Pad". This input box controls the overall height of the terrain plane as an object relative to the "Zero Inches of the first floor's surface". Using trial and error changing the input box values will raise or lower the terrain relative to the structure's height. Take a look and practice with that dialog box-input box.

The features you wish do not exist in any Home Designer title; they do exist in Chief Architect Premier, sorry.

When you get symbols made by others, they are not made for use in Home Designer software. It works but as you have seen, not precisely as you desire. You can learn to use Sketch Up and when mastered create complicated symbols, sorry...

Personally, I do not have a clue. I always buy what supports what I do.

Each active camera type while engaged has its own"DisplayOptions" dialog similar in appearance to the default on seen while working on a .plan file while in planview mode. Everything visible in a .plan file can be made to be actively visible or invisible at your choice.
Cross sections fit in this category as well, in that great detail can be added using 2D CAD overlays over the surfaces along with annotations of the 3D model camera view.
AutoCAD the grand-daddy CAD program still operates and does most of what it does using only 2D CAD. It is an easy way to make your elevations and cross sections look more professional and detailed.

Watch this please:
The thing to remember is to draw the terrain or site plan TO the North-South of the plan view .plan file . Do not draw the structure so it aligns to the site plan; the site plan orientates to Home Designer structure.

That is the "Ceiling side of the roof in a vault situation. You can not really turn that layer on or off but you can make it invisible to reveal what is behind.

Sharing a copy of your problem plan will help. Also like y-g-m-n stated, what are you doing, why are you trying to do it and with what have you so far applied to do it that isn't working.

Download the libraries in the catalog section of the website, especially Bonus Building finishes.

The only controls available to you for that are resident in the Railing Specification Box for each railing wall, take a careful look, please.

Stick frame overbuild on trusses
in Q&A
Posted
It is ONLY doable using Pro. Trusses are drawn manually using the "truss tool". There are other manual framing tools to obtain exactly the result you wish.
