that was the rec deck... one scene with the rec deck was intended to have some forced perspective nacelles matted into the background of the upper level windows to give the impression of being in the trailing edge of the saucer

Weeellll...the interior windows are not scaled correctly to the much larger saucer section windows. The Ten Forward interior windows are really in scale with the smaller windows on the Galaxy's secondary hull.
So, if the set's windows were in scale with the studio model, they would indeed be "floor to ceiling". All those windows on the Galaxy's saucer are actually slightly taller than the Rec-Deck windows on the Connie Refit.

I don't have the images any more, but I once captured from frames from TMP wherein you actually CAN see the nacelle outside the Rec Deck windows in the big crew scene in TMP. It wasn't forced perpective per se, just a big painting outside the set.
