Student Seeking Help

I'm doing a student assignment and i'm supposed to replicate the attached. As instructed it's been modelled with slab (table top), beams (table top surround), walls (support bars) and columns (legs). What settings do I adjust to get the walls to show dashed below the slab as in the exemplar? File 2 is the disaster i'm trying to fix...

Operating system used: Windows 11

model view options (document > model view > model view options), show beams hidden line under slab. You may also need to adjust the beams hidden line type

Thank you so much, do you have further advice on how to hide the beam from inside the column please? I can confirm both beam and column are on same layer and are of the same material.
