break your wall at the intersection of the staircase. what else are you trying to correct? consider posting your .plan file

What software version are you using? They have different capabilities with roofs

Would encourage you to not think of a room as an actual room but rather as a tool to generate a mesh that looks like you need it to. A room couldve automatically generated a lot of the features you have shown here automatically. Your roof rafters are inside of your roof plane in the structure of the roof plane. You would need to implement one of the available methods for turning off the soffits to expose the rafters inside of that structure

You have to close the plan file before attaching it here or it would have no data

You may want to post your plan file so we can take a look. It works on my end

In future if you could attach an image instead of a PDF of an image it would be helpful. To answer your question, the home designer line does not give you the option to rotate the orientation of an object. You will need to use an object that is already oriented with the grille facing down and then modify its settings to be flush to the ceiling

what do you mean tricky? maybe i can help you out. Typically exterior walls will be a thicker assembly than interior walls

Existing trusses only reach to line B on my post if that's what you are showing.Could pick it up with a flush beam and do your clerestory on the back 8' Unless I am misinterpreting the photos

Have you checked sat view to see what neighbors have done a remodel on the same model home. I am from california and typically we can find multiple homes within the area with the same house plan. A heck of a lot cheaper just knocking on their door, being friendly, asking them about their lovely home and grabbing their floor plan. So this is the truss roof for the hall and kitchen and bath, and the bottom chord is bearing on line A and E from this image: which means the gable trusses are overframed on the sheathing of your truss system. Also means your truss probably has a standing heel heigh at line B to create the eave overhang So if you wanted a cost effective design you would not disturb this truss system which means you could modify this portion of the roof system without incurring cost on re-engineering the truss system: OR get it re-engineered and cut your trusses at line C and if there isn't one already, support the wall at line C under floor. There likely is already support at line C as you have a ~25' span. You're in California so an engineer might make you sheer wall line C. that means your, patching your trusses: and then braced wall up: If you were my client I'd be asking you a ton of questions such as how long do you plan on living here...projected return on investment over time, comps, are you pulling equity from the home etc. Depending on your answers I might try and convince you to add additional sq ft or another bedroom or bath depending on comps
