Do you have an image of the issue you are having. You're saying beams so I'm thinking horizontal elements, but you're talking about them as if they are vertical, so I can't really visualize what the issue is here.

Gotcha. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Take a look at Settings > Object Styles and play around with the hidden line style under structural beams. See if that helps for the line types, althought I'm not expecting it to. You may need to use the line works tool to accomplish what you are wanting to do. If you figure something else out, please let us know. As far as creating a beam that goe up, you can do 1 of 2 things: 1) Just reposition the beam so that it is above the slab instead of below. 2) Create a new beam profile family that places the profile above the Top/Bottom reference plane instead of below the Top/Bottom Reference plane. If you look at the profiles used for the beams in the beam families, you will see what I am saying. HTH, let me know if you have any questions baout this.

Select your reference level, say the top of plate and at "Start and End offset level" you can add the depth of beam to give it an upstand.
