You have mutliple options here:

1) Put a floor's objects in a container (representing the floor) and then you can right click the container and choose -View->Down to only view the objects it contains. This way you can even have a seperate 3D view for each floor, and another that shows all floors together.

2) Add all objects on a given floor to a group for that floor. Then hide/show all objects in that floors' group. That can be done via the edit selected objects tool or you can script it.

3) Write a script/command to check the height of objects and hide those that are not a the required floor height (+- some tolerance - you can specify the desired height as a variable or parameter, or use a reference object for the floor you want)

There are probably many other ways.

here my tipp. Hide you objects inside of a large box. Put a basic fixed resource in to your model and set a size that can hide your objects inside. If you need to see them, hide the basic fixed resource 3D shape or move it to a different location.
