I marked the corners of a roof in several pictures, yet they have not become locators. I need these to be locators so that I can model a cube on it. Why am I not able to make these corners become locators?

Hello,
 
This is probably the origin of most of the problems you posted here.
To get a locator you need:
- the cameras calibrated
- 2 markers minimum to create a locator
Note: a marker set in a shot defines a line in 3D space. By setting 2 or more markers in different shots, and by intersecting those lines, a 3d points (locator) can be created.
 
If your cameras are calibrated:
- are you sure they are all calibrated ?
- be carefull you do not create new markers each time you click in the viewport for one feature: use Ctrl+click only for new markers, and simple click to add other instances in the others shots
 
Hope it helps,
 
Stef
