Selecting only visible units in floor aware map

Question

I have a floor aware map in my Exp Builder page and I would like to be able to use the Select Widget to select multiple units, however when I do this, it will select units across all the floors in that area rather than just what is visible.

Is there some sort of trigger or actions I can use to fix this?

Secondary question, is there a way to 'add' to a selection with this widget? The only way I can find to do so is by selecting attributes within a table, but I would prefer to not have a table/list at all if possible.

Thanks!

I ran across this same issue a week or two ago and received a reply from an ESRI contributor who stated that the current version of the Floor Filter widget is only map-centric, not data-centric, which is why it doesn't have the ability to play nice with the other widgets.  Apparently, Enterprise 11.5 should include an upgraded data-centric version of the Floor Filter widget, which means it could potentially be available sooner than that in AGOL.  We are on Enterprise though, so we have to wait until 11.5 release to get this 'finish line' functionality just before they sunset WAB.  Just like everyone else, we're on the edge of our seat waiting for this.  All of our maps are floor aware, even the ones built in WAB, so I haven't been able to move them over thus far.  It was at least comforting to know that this was "as designed" with plans to upgrade soon, rather than it being a bug.

Just want to attach a screenshot to show what is happening a little better.
Here I only intend to have three units selected, but it has 13 selected across all floors.

Really the biggest issue for my intention with this map is that I have an expression to show the total sqft of the selection, but that does not accurately convey what the map user sees (here is says 8,743 sqft but the actual area of the visible area is about 3,706 sqft). So even if there is a work around for just that, that would help my particular issue.

I appreciate your response!
I have tried using the floor widget first to make sure I have the correct building/floor selected but I still get a selection across all floors.

I had attribute selection turned on in the Select Widget, I had no idea that affected the selection capabilities! I turned that off and now it works as I expected, being able to use keyboard shortcuts to change selections. 
Thank you so much! I was going crazy trying to figure that out.
