Either you haven't created a Terrain Perimeter yet, or you're on the wrong floor. That's the only reasons why the tools would be grayed out. See this Knowledge Base article.

no trusses
in Q&A
Not sure what you did wrong with building the shop with regards to the ceiling without seeing the plan.
There's a bunch of prior threads with links to 3D Warehouse trusses if you just want import them as symbols for the basic look in some of the less advanced versions than Pro.

Make sure you're using the "Break Line" edit button when the roof plane is selected before clicking to place the break in the roof plane. Don't try to use the Break "Wall" tool instead.

If you really do already have a Terrain Perimeter in your plan, then you need to be on the same floor in your plan as where your terrain perimeter is. So if you put the Terrain Perimeter on Floor 1, the other terrain tools will only be active while on Floor 1, not on Floor 0 or Floor 2.

All useless information here.
Did you actually go through the article I linked? Not only are there a bunch of troubleshooting steps, but it also explains if they all fail how to get the files that the company's actual Tech Support people need to be able to troubleshoot further when you contact them. That's definitely NOT "useless." -

Sorry - but are we talking HD17 - or HD18 here......the link provided is to HD18 'New Features'?
This is a really old post, so the link was relevant when they originally replied but has since been updated because the new version just came out.- 1

any update on rendering in 2018?
I haven't gotten to try it out yet, but this post indicates that the rendering is substantially improved in the new 2018 versions.

Definitely a video card issue.

Select a different light using the Library Browser and then place it in the plan.

This Knowledge Base article deals with SEH Exception error messages.

No, it's not a trial version limitation, it's a problem with the computer's video card.

You're most welcome!

You can select the roof plane over the walkway and use Transform/Replicate to move it up on the Z axis by about 5 1/2" and then use Join Roof Planes to connect it to the plane behind it. Not quite sure I follow the other questions on the roof though.

What bit's giving you the most trouble?
Can you attach a copy of the plan for what you have so far for the roof and trusses?

Thank you Solver, I found a post that covered it with a link. (https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-02969/changing-wall-heights.html) I'll also experiment with the soffits and see if that's better then sketchup which I find isn't editable other than adding color and textures to it at the moment.
Signature updated.
This is also a good one to check out.

Did you have to manually edit the roof in your image in Pro?
Nope, that Victorian roof is all auto-generated. The cupolas in the upper left though were from the Library Browser so they are symbols that already had little roofs on them.- 1
