    The way that the elevation will look is strongly influenced by your design decisions. In a few minutes I was able to make the following images. But this is not the only way that this roof could be constructed.

    this is an old tool that will temporarily hide objects. when you change classes, the objects reappear. there is a tool and a menu. you have to add the tool to a tool set, but you can add the menu to your right-click. please test this first on a sample project before you use this on a real project. Hide Objects.zip

    you used to be able to group a viewport and interactively re-scale it. This was so useful for perspectives, It is also no longer working.

    double click on the legend, a dialog box will open the titles can be used to sort the notes, by the number or by the description. if you want a manual order, drag the notes in the number column to reorder the notes.

    if the field is a text file, but you want a number, can you convert the text to a number?

    you could use a gradient with a radial or rectangular type and fade it to transparent.

    Sometimes, you find that the tool you want is not on the fundamentals tools, but you can add it manually. At the bottom of the tool palette is a Utility Menu, click on the menu and choose Customise... see if you can find the stair tools and add them to your palette.

    here is a movie explains how to set your tool defaults. Although the movie is 11 years old, the principle is still the same.
