I happened to see that Florida production of L!V!C!, which was not long after the Broadway production, and my impression -- even before the lawsuit was filed -- was that they copied the Broadway production down to the minutest details, including specific blocking, interpretations of the roles, and even facial expressions and line readings. I assume that was the issue, rather than recreation of the floor plan and props list.

Part of it, according to the news reports at the time, was the use of the model house, which Mantello said was his idea, but which I'm guessing is (or at least was) mentioned in the acting edition. Anyway, there are a lot of articles online about the specifics of the case, none of which probably get quite as specific as you and I might prefer.
