Sorry, before 19.1 the A* navigator only works on the model floor. We added the ability to add more A* grids to the model at different heights in 19.1. I recommend upgrading to 19.1 or later if you want to model multiple floors with A*.

Otherwise if you continue to use A* in 18 you can put the floors side-by-side and use bridges to make the people move between floors as discussed in this answer .

You can also use Network Nodes to create a path network and you can put the nodes at any Z height you want.
