Door/Room Schedules - how to leave out other floors?

I have a space plan for an office I'm toying around with.
the building itself has 10 floors.
I only want to use a Room-Finish Schedule for a small portion of only 1 of the floors. what's the best technique for accomplishing this?

Also, the new office layout has "new doors" and the building has "existing doors". How do I separate the "new" from the "existing" and only show a door schedule with the "new" doors I want to call out?? Again, what's the best technique for this one?

I usually will separate the different wings of a building by naming the rooms with prefixes (ex: E101, E102, W101, W103, or A101, B101, C101, etc). This way I can separate and group the room Zones in my Schedules.

I use a similar tactic with separating doors (with prefixes for wings and/or other differences like new/existing/relocated, etc.).

To exclude existing doors you can exclude doors on the existing walls layer. Of course this doesn't work if you have new doors in existing walls. This is why I usually give the existing doors an ID of "EXIST" and exclude them from the schedule by that criterion.

Conversely you can set the criteria that the schedule will only list doors that e.g. start with 'D'. This approach will exclude all other door openings placed. Similar for windows.
