With the 3d the active window, look under 3d > camera view options, and see if "toggle textures" has a check mark. Also, on the tool bar under edit, scroll down to "preferences" > render > video card status. Post a jpg of the card status.

Showing a pic with the elevations, might help someone to understand what you are trying to model. Attaching the pool plan file could also be useful.

You aren't doing it right. You need to add TWO breaks for each step (one for the top, and 1 for the riser).

Like Eric said, get the auto built roof correct, then turn it off. Then go to each railing and set it to be invisible, open with posts, or showing a rail. The rail at the open end of the bays (that was needed to build the roof) can be removed, exposing the bays to the water below.

OR.. You could just lower the deck finished ceiling to 124".

I'm guessing that you have altered some ceiling heights?

Just goes to show...if at 1st you don't succeed, try try again (using a different method!)

Try dragging it's height down in a 3D view.

Using wall settings for auto rebuild roof:

What does the other side of the house look like?

This was done using only auto rebuild roof. Reset the the center room (family room) to the default finished ceiling height. Build a 2nd floor (use blank plan), drawing new walls over the family room (floor reference turned on). Set the room type of the new room to "open below". Set the finished ceiling height to about 60", and uncheck "flat ceiling over this room".

You are already off to a bad start. You did not partition off the garage from the house, therefore the main house 1st floor is set at-12" instead of 0".

I don't believe you got the arch from a soffit. How did you do it? Do you not know that you can draw walls through soffits, without deleting the soffits?

You need to update your signature. Open the core library and select any one of the moldings. Click on the door casing in a 3d view. Did you delete the microwave oven that is in outer space southeast of the house? It is creating havoc with the full perspective overview.

Yes, you can. Open a NEW plan (default style template) and tile it beside your existing plan. Add a door to an interior wall in a temporary building (in the new plan), then copy the door. With your original plan selected as the active plan, paste this door into the plan. Is that what you wanted?

How did you fix the bathroom molding?

Eric gave you the answer, and you followed that up by answering your own question.

Easiest solution using auto build roof? Create (build) a new floor; Choose 'make new blank plan'. With the floor reference turned on, draw 4 new walls as shown. Obviously set the front wall to be a gable. Open the room, and start raising or lowering the ceiling height until the roof perfectly blends with the existing roof.

Set the room type as "bath".

If you are desperate...try this. To alter the properties of the cabinet (after blocking), select the block, hit tab, then ctrl E to open the cabinet.

Your picture doesn't show the area of the roof with the problem. Even so, (as Eric said) you would have to improvise to get something looking similar (with Suite or Architectural). Only Pro has manual roof tools.

Not enough information. Did you check the layers for the elevation view?

In realty, 'wretched' steps (or porch floors) should never meet the 1st floor level. They should always be about 102mm (4") below the 1st floor, to prevent water entry. Since your marble steps do not have a separate tread, why not just create them like your 2d pic shows? Use soffits, slabs, or box shapes.

I don't think that Suite has pony walls. Your finished basement will have a full foundation wall, not a knee wall. Type 'Split level structure' in the forum search box, and also in the knowledge base search box, for more info and suggestions for this type of structure. Posting a jpeg pic of the house will help others to help you with more specific problems. You will need to do some 'work-arounds' to get the desired look that you want.
