I have just received an architectural plan of a home as a SketchUp file:
I would like to view the furniture and inner room settings in first floor, but the ceiling and second floor are hiding them.
I have tried removing the elements from the model (as can be seen in the furthest model), but it's tedious, and they can't be restored quickly.
Is there a way to quickly hide all elements above a certain height (for example, 2 meters above the ground level)?

You can use the section tool to define a section plane. Everything beyond the section cut will be visible and accessible.
Really, this is a planning task. If you want to perform tasks like this you should assign them to distinctive layer collections.
Try creating a series of layers before you do any design work, giving them names that reflect their purpose.
Divide them into sets by giving them prefixes and suffixes. For instance...
outer_garden
outer_garden_plants
outer_paving
outer_wall
outer_wall_window
outer_wall_door
inner_wall
inner_ground_wall
inner_ground_wall_fixture
inner_ground_floor
inner_ground_floor_fixture
inner_ground_ceiling
inner_ground_ceiling_fixture
...and so on.
Display of the layers can be turned on and off as needed then.
