BEopt output What am I Missing

Hi, In order to ask my question, I would like to upload a couple of screenshots, but I don't have enough points yet.

I created a Design, and created (3) Cases: Base, Windows, Exterior Rigid Foam. I'm trying to analyze different options: Window U-factor, Exterior Rigid Foam, etc. I have tried it A BUNCH of different ways: In Design Mode, Parametric, and Optimization. At first, I tried with BEopt version 3.0.0.0. And then I tried it with BEopt version 2.8.0.0. Sometimes with multiple things selected. For example, two types of windows. Sometimes with only (1) change per case.

With three Cases, shouldn't I get 3 points on the graph in the upper left, and 3 columns on the graph in the lower left? Each time I run it, I get less than that.

I have watched the BEopt training videos. I feel like I'm missing something simple. Is there a way to make it analyze these three different cases?

Thanks in advance for your help, Miles
