Select the storey you want to modify by either:
Clicking on the storey button on the right (e.g., "Second" button shown with arrow)
Clicking one of the storey buttons at the top left corner

🛠 Example: Two storey roof display options
Consider a two storey roof project where you can control visibility of different elements:
All layers displayed: Shows complete project with all storeys and elements visible
Second storey walls and roof turned off: Focuses view on first storey elements only
First storey walls and roof turned off: Isolates second storey elements for detailed work
First and second storey walls turned off: Shows roof elements only, hiding all wall information
All layers displayed, then second storey turned off:
First storey turned off, then all walls turned off:
💡 Tips
Use display controls to reduce visual clutter when working on specific project areas
