Hi glinn07,
Sketchbox uses the building's total floor area and number of floors as inputs. It then divides the total floor area by the number of floors to come up with each floor's area. All floors in the building have rectangular floor plans, with identical footprints. No parts of the lower surfaces of upper floors are exposed to the exterior of the building. Does that answer your question?
