Problem loading DOE reference prototype Geometry

I have a problem with the geometry of the DOE reference building. I loaded the model by openstudio measure and in Geometry tab of openstudio it shows only three floors! I don't know it's just a visualization problem or involves other aspects of simulation and the results. I checked zones and spaces and it matched completely with building descriptions.

Is there any way to solve this bug?

As long as there is no lighting study, Is there any way it valid to solve this bug?do such a thing? Is it enough that the middle floor's ceiling has an appropriate boundary condition?
