I have moved your question to the MEP section and deleted your duplicate post. For best results, always try to post your question in the relevant section of the forum. And please just post your question once and then wait for replies.

First thing is this, when you are drawing in "2D" in Plan View, AutoCAD MEP is building everything in 3D. When you're in Plan View, it just displays as 2D.

 

As for your problem it looks like you got a routing setting off alignment. When you start the DUCTADD command, look and see what the Slope is set to in the Properties Palette. Make sure this is always at 0 for routing duct normally.
