Yeah, it's certainly a stretch. I don't see anything wrong with this being a 85 floor building. It's a good design. I don't see a problem with them calling the 85th floor the 104th either. It's an 85 story building with a 104th floor. That's delightfully absurd. Given all of the solemness and misguided patriotism shoved into this pile of concrete and glass, a little crazy fun is mandatory.

Also, on floor 102, is there another floor that goes up higher to elevation 1,278 or something like that? I also need the heights from the parapet all the way to the communication ring. I have all the other elevations but those I don't know for sure, could really use your expertise. Thanks.

You, and anyone else for that matter, should PM when they have questions like this. It's easy to loose track of posts like this. PM's will almost always get a response...eventually.

The Empire state building is 1,454' to the top of the lightning rod above ground.

Yep, for future reference, here's this:
I was going to write in the antenna ring height as well, but since I lost the PM Zen sent me on that topic, and I didn't feel like opening 3DSM...meh.

I personally like the "tiara" effect that the third level of the communications ring creates.

Sure. Maybe this weekend. Been busy lately.
