turning off other stories

I'm working on a drawing that's built by someone. It has several stories. I want to turn off those stories in 3D view except for the 3rd story so I can see it in 3D.
When I click on the 3D tab in the project map, all the stories are turned on... does this mean I need to manually turn off all other stories except for the 3rd story, and save the view?
.. if that's the case, how do I change the view to elevation view so I can select elements and turn them off?

Or go to the 3rd storey in plan (or any other storey you want), select all (CTRL+A), right click and show selection in 3D.

This saves messing around with the filter settings.
