Make the box transparent. Maybe spend some time going over the reference manual

The line above looks like the roof overhang. You can rename any room to what you want by going to the dbx, at the room name, leave the upper name so it defaults, then on the second lane, change it to what you want it to be

If you set it in your defaults before you start adding windows, it'll happen with them all

You can go into the DBX for the windows under labels & hit the "enter" key a time or two to move the label to sit below the window. It may work for the doors too. You can always click on the door or window and move the text with the small dot in the center of the call out too

I think one of the many drawbacks to HD 2026 is that the material editing properties have been taken away. If you go to the material, copy it to make a new one and rename it, see if you can edit the angle of it. Change it from 0 to 90, or the opposite. If it's greyed out, you can't. However, if you applied this as a soffit, and not a moulding, the pattern may be fine.

What version are you using?

Yes, there was one. The one in question looks like it has a "V" in it, which is why I suggested there was a vector view camera active somewhere in the plan. Possibly saved from when a view was sent to layout page or something. Posting the plan often helps more than playing guessing games. Anyway, good luck with it

Looks like you have a vector view camera active or saved in that are, which is giving you the line

Do it using custom countertops. Stack them on top of each other

If it's a PDF, import it to your plan, set the scale from marked dimensions, then trace it. You'll want to turn it so that your walls run straight up for the structure. In other words, turn the terrain, not the house

Thank you

The material properties was a good feature. There is no realistic looking screen porch screening option now. Deleting the watermark takes away our ability to protect our work, or to at least mark it as preliminary. Now the way to do that is to add a text box to the layout sheet, which is distracting, and can easily be removed by someone just editing a PDF page in Adobe, etc.

Too many to list

Library>get additional content online>millwork>Corbels and Brackets No.3 Gable. There are several styles there to pick from. Where you are using such an old version, I don't know if it's still available for sale since the change to HD 2026. You should always post questions in the "Q&A" section. "Tips & Techniques" is where you post things you have found that may help others, In "Q&A", you will also likely get more views.

They save as whatever the last settings were for the file you are using. That's why I , and probably most others, keep a "master plan" to start all new projects from. You set up a master and change all of the defaults to what you want them to be. Whether it's geographic preferences for doors, trim, etc.That way, you don't have to change everything for each new plan you start.
