One could ask if it is possible to have another set of 3D floors on top of this one. The answers would be: of course it is possible and it is easy to accomplish.

Copy the control sectors and in Height offset type in the increase of the new height for the added 3D floors, maybe ++64.

And as before, make sure that the sontrol sectors align with the game sectors.
