As of 3/15/15, I can duplicate this issue as well.  Open story building exposes a lot of graphics glitches, unfortunately, and this is one of them.  It's like there is a gap between the ceiling of the lower floor and the flooring of the upper floor.  Here are a couple more images that exemplify the glitch: here and here.

[OPEN] Black Shadows on Ceiling of Open Story

See image here.

 

Steps to recreate:

 

1. Build a room at ground level.

2. Build a room above it, on the 2nd level.

3. Delete the flooring on the 2nd level to create an open story area.

4. You will see the shadow in live mode, when you are displaying all levels and looking from the ground level up to the ceiling of the 2nd level.

 

Glitch also documented in Build Mode Feedback Thread.

[OPEN] Lighting Colors/Intensities Lost When Lot is Placed from Manage Worlds

[ Edited ]
Hero (Retired)

When placing a lot from Manage Worlds, the colors and intensities of the lights do not keep their settings. Instead, they revert back to their default settings.  This does not happen when placing a lot in Build Mode - colors and intensities are retained as expected.

[OPEN] Graphics Glitch - Curved Sections Lit Too Brightly

[ Edited ]
Hero (Retired)

When lights are placed on a flat round or rounded deck piece, they seem to shine through the pieces, lighting them up very brightly from below, whereas other flats and deck types have normal lighting beneath them.  Here is an image of how the pieces were set up with lighting, and here is what they look like from below..
