Working in 3D can be e real challenge at times when you are used to only worrying about 2 dimensions. One tool I have found to be very handy is the ability to orient a 3D view of a multiple story building to show just one floor at a time.
To do this go to the View menu and select Orient and then To Other View.

After you pick the floor, it will look like you have a plan view. Orbit your model to reveal your single 3D floor for coordination.

Nice.
Don't forget you can right click on the view cube to do the same thing.

Very nice. I oftem make my own section boxes to do exactly what you have done. Thanks for saving lots of time!!
Todd,
You are the man. Why did I turn that view cube off again?
