When designing do you find yourself thinking more about the floorplan layout (flow of spaces) or facade (Elevations and materials)...I know they both go hand in hand but I was just wondering if anyone focuses on one more during pre design.

Neither.
It's all about perspectives.

Most of the major design is worked out in my head. It's a strange place.
But you should never design in just one plane. You should be considering the space in all dimensions.

I use singing. Then I imagine and analyze the imaginary surface echo feedback to determine distances, dimensions, and materiality, like a bat. Then I draw it.

Draw in plan (horizontal section) while thinking in (vertical) section. Lots of little sketches in perspective/axonometric to figure out details.

^ This. My read of the OP's question is how do you start?
On urban sites, starting with property lines, allowable envelope, and access points all happen in plan for me. Sectional thinking had better start pretty quickly, though.

oh right access points is a good starting point, thanks!

firmness, commodity & delight (in that order)
while i'd like to pretend it's some sort of wholistic architectural conceptualizing, i work in plan primarily because most of the clients i work for prize value before anything else. So, plan extrusion determines the baseline. If it has elbow room for "delight", then great, but delight often gets VE'ed in favor of maximizing scope.

3D sketch model and then 3D model, I find it difficult to think in 2D plans, secs and eles.

Floor plan for me always. The elevation is the easy part. ;)

What is the Differents between floor plan and Eleviation

there is none. It's just re-branding to make your drawings appear more intellectual. don't submit to the hype.

You can find the Elevation by taking the cross product of the Floorplan X Section.

Architectural drawings are quaternions.
