[Buildingdata] Re: Levels (Dammit)

[Christopher Gutteridge]

Level numbers are defined as the first digit in a 4 digit room code. The 
2nd digit is room function and the remaining two are an incrementing 
number for that floor/purpose. eg. I'm in 3213 Which is Floor "3", 
"Office" number "13".

All that really matters is that some important people want the floor 
data to appear on

To say that the Deanery is on Floor 4 of Building 4. And it's smart to 
keep 'em happy.
