Could you please list the steps you take in projecting the model? Are you on the first story & select only the elements on that story, then project? If so, that's all you'll get. To get the whole enchilada you need to have either nothing selected when you project, or multi-story (dark marching ants) marquee around the area to be projected. Also check View>Elements in 3D View>Filter Elements in 3D to make sure you have not constrained the projection to your first story only.Hope that's what you're looking for.

Please also post which version of ArchiCAD you are using. The options for controlling what appears in the 3D Window have changed between versions 9 and 10.

It looks from your screenshot that the camera may be inside the building for an interior shot. If that's the case and all you're getting is the first story then you need to raise the camera 'Z' height and target settings in the camera settings DB.
