Bird Eye View of Multi-Story Building

Does anyone know how to get a bird-eye view of a multi-story building? Specifically, is there a way to get a bird-eye view of each floor, and have that view change once I have gone from one story to another one?

Take a look at the windows and views tutorial.

That tutorial works, but it can only see the roof top of a building. Would I have to use a while loop so that the bird-eye view that is being displayed will modify to show each different floor plan based on the "z" value that is returned by .getPosition()?

You'll need to change the viewpoint height each time you want to show a different floor. I don't understand the question about the while loop.

I have created a 3 story building on Vizard. When I am on the first floor I would like the bird view window to display the floor plan for that floor. However, if I were to move to the second floor I would want the bird view window to change and show the floor plan for that floor. Is this something that I can do by using a while loop within "UpdateViews()"? Is there a better way to approach this problem?

I was able to get the Bird view to change based on the z-value.

UpperRightWindow = viz.addWindow(pos = (0.8,1.0), size = (0.2,0.25))
UpperRightWindow.visible(0, viz.SCREEN)
BirdView = viz.addView()

UpperRightWindow.setView(BirdView)

def UpdateBirdView():
x,z,y = viz.MainView.getPosition()
if (z >= 0 and z < ceiling):
BirdView.setPosition([x,ceiling,y])
elif ( z >= ceiling and z < ceiling2):
BirdView.setPosition([x,ceiling2,y])
else:
BirdView.setPosition([x,ceiling3,y])
BirdView.setEuler([0,90,0])
UpperRightWindow.fov(120)
vizact.ontimer(0,UpdateBirdView)

The problem I have encountered is that I only see a small part of the building since the x and y values correspond to the center of the building. What can I do in order to show the entire floor of the building?
