hide a floor in 3D view (axonometry)

How do I hide a specific floor in any of the 3D views?

Thanks

Layers should almost never be used to distinguish stories/floors in ARCHICAD; that's a 2D AutoCAD thing. However, if you want to hide random, non-contiguous floors in a live 3D view, it may be the only option.

If instead you want to hide floors that are outside of a specific range, then the Filter in 3D dialog, present since at least version 6.5, lets you do that - and further lets you choose to display or not display specific element types. See attached screenshot from AC 21. (Your profile/sig shows you as using AC 18. Is that still correct?)

If you need stuff on specific random, non-contiguous floors hidden in a hidden line 3D view, then Graphics Overrides can do that. (For shaded views, I only see the ability to make the surfaces clear glass, not completely invisible with a graphic override.)
