I would like to ask why 10 high though? Why not just go straight to 12 high corridors. (With corridors at 24, 36, 48, etc. for the vertical standard.) The obvious benefit would be that we could build 2 floors to every corridor. With the current and proposed standards we can only build “high ceiling” floors. If every thing were multiples of 12 that would allow 2 normal floors or one “high ceiling” floor. It just seems far more versatile to do it this way to me, especially given the LEGO company’s fixation with even multiples. (ie. 48x48 grey plate versus 50x50) So what does everyone else think?

I guess I’m missing the point. How would this be easier to deal with than 10 high corridors (and subsequent floors at 10, 20, 30, etc)? I get the part about larger things underneath, but that’s it. Something else to it?

(...) Sorry I wasn't more clear. 10 high corridors would allow a module to have only one tall (internally 8 high) floor for every corridor level. 12 high corridors would allow a module to have two normal (internally 5 high) floors for every corridor (...)

(...) Yep. 2 floors to every corridor for those who wish to do it. From an engineering standpoint, this wouldn't be possible for 10 high floors if you wanted minifigs to stand in them. I'm in agreement with you Mike. Lego tends to make things easier (...) (21 years ago, 2-Sep-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
