It *could* be done that way-- floor by floor-- but the basic window photo tiles
I use are typically 3 or 4 window-units wide, and the the same in height. It
depends on the photo, or if there's some interesting subtle variation in it.
Some photos have lots more windows. But the underlying scene code does apply the
windows floor-by-floor (and in single-window widths, if that makes sense to
you.)
One small detail I left out: the horizontal rooftops. They have to be
constructed in a different way, because the final building is just a
multi-height_field 'shell' with no innards (and no top!) I haven't arrived at a
good method for that yet ;-) For a simple 4-sided 'box' building, the roof could
likewise be a thin box; but a 'Hilbert-style' building (i.e., one with indents)
would need something more complex.
