see the documentatino for the '#for'; essentially, the value of 'Level' (think
"storey") increases, with each iteration of "the body", by one in this case.  so
the 'translate' calculates the cumulative heights at which the "Floor" begins;
simply replace 'Height' wit hyour value, and change the end value in the '#for'
to '65' (ie, from 0 to 65 == 66 values/"Floors")
