Duct Location Error

[lukeduran]

We are getting several errors relating to Duct Location, but I can't seem to figure out what I can do to remedy these errors. The commonality between them all seems to be that we are passing a "Foundation" asset.

@lukeduran Similar to issue #50, this issue has been identified and resolved in the upcoming 2.0.0 release. It is due to the requested foundation object not getting applied in all of the appropriate places, causing a mismatch in the duct location logic.
