This is my first attempt at the building section vignette. Please review.

In the second floor, there is one set of joists 24" deep 5'-0" o/c running north south and another set of joists 24" deep 5'-0" o/c running east west. The program only calls for the ceiling height to be constant for the entire floor to be at 9'-0". This is not sufficient enough to assume that the top of the roof is the same. What makes me not assume 20"X20" duct to determine the overall height (for that portion only) instead of 32"X20" duct (this happens in the corridor coming out of the mechanical room) and in the area where ducts run north south.
I understand Why this is not possible in the first floor because I can see second floor plan and there is no difference in elevations anywhere shown. Which portion of the program suggests that the same logic works on the floor above.
