What Will said is true; I think TLC mostly uses a 6-brick + floor-
plate "standard" unless the height is used for other effects.

My (currently) largest MOC, the Bloodstone Inn, is of slightly varying design
with stories. The first story is 8 bricks high, and the second is 7.6 bricks
high, or otherwise, depending on the way you look at it. (The modular
structure causes some overlapping between the floors... so looking from the
outside, it might seem as though the 1st floor is 7.3 hile the second is 8.1.
But going by your definition, the former is correct.)
This height was affected by the window-design I used, as well as the "blood
line" that supports the second floor - they caused the height to be more than
the standard 6.3 bricks on the first floor. The inward-sloping layer on the
second floor, acting together with the modularity adjustments, and the windows
(again), caused the second floor to be high as well.

P.S., I finally got another grey concave corner slope for the 2nd floor... no
more red!

| I've been wondering: what is a good story height for multi-story buildings? I just bought two two-story sets - Fort Legoredo (6769) and a Train Station (4556), and interestingly enough, have differing story heights. Fort Legoredo's is 6 1/3 - log (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.build)
