What's the MF cost to enter the otherwise normal ground floor of a multilevel building that is roofless? V7.2 clearly states, "All Roofless Factory hex rules (O5.4) apply in the uppermost location of each hex of the building except as amended below." That would imply that a roofless level 2 building would impose the extra one MF cost outlined in O5.4 only on the 2nd floor and permit normal MF costs (2 per hex) on the 1st and ground floors. But, V7.4 goes on to say, "The cost for Infantry to enter a non-factory building location is increased by 1 MF if it is gutted." Does that mean: 1) only the uppermost, level 2, location is gutted and therefore carries the extra 1 MF surcharge or does it mean 2) the extra 1 MF surcharge filters down through the 1st and ground floors - an amendment to V7.2's general rule that "rooflessness" applies only in the uppermost location?

It doesn't. I think you're conflating Roofless Factory hex rules with the rules for Gutted Buildings. They're different beasts.

Does that mean: 1) only the uppermost, level 2, location is gutted and therefore carries the extra 1 MF surcharge or does it mean 2) the extra 1 MF surcharge filters down through the 1st and ground floors - an amendment to V7.2's general rule that "rooflessness" applies only in the uppermost location?
All non-rubbled Locations of a Gutted Building cost Infantry an extra MF to enter. Gutted Factories are handled as per O5.5 (last sentence of V7.1). It's not the "rooflessness" of a building that requires an extra MF expenditure, but rather its gutted state.
