beam contour line type

I would like to be able to control the line type (solid, dashed, etc) at the side contour of the beam. Is this possible in Version 10? If so, I can’t seem to find this control.

The setting is (somewhat strangely) "Overhead Lines". It seems to be assumed that beams will always be overhead, although there are two pen choices that determine how it displays depending on the Floor Plan Cut Plane height. With a little adjustment you should be able to get each beam to display as desired but it seems to me that it would be best to have common settings for beams regardless of their elevation.
