There are many ways of modeling this and Steve's points are good ones.   The Floor Plan Cut Plane (FPCP) - settings are per view - not per viewpoint -  lets you get different views that were impossible before it was introduced... so the oldest posts here won't have the best tips if they were before the FPCP introduction.  Here are some posts on 'split levels' that might help you:

Personally, I very seldom use Stories as if they were Floor Levels of the Building.  I use them for anywhere I want to see a reference line in Sections.  This works for me because I would never want to link things to a Story.   You can name a Story anything you like, and you can choose which Story Reference lines you want to display in a Section.
