Might not be completely what you want but I think the closest thing at the moment is the Reflected Ceiling Plan option for 3D Documents:

Post a screenshot of what you achieved and point out what is not correct or does not appear the way you want it.

If you just want to show the extents of your upper floor slab on the ground floor then in the settings for the upper floor slab you will want to have a look at the "Show on Storeys" settings.
Try setting it to "show on home and one storey down".

The only control the line type (dashed, solid, etc.) is set in the OPTIONS menu > Project Preferences > Construction Elements...

You don't have any control of the pen colour (separate to what you see in the upper floor).

Make sure that the Home Story of the Slab on the 1st Floor is the 1st Floor and not some other floor.
Also you may try to play with the Offset setting in the 3D Settings Dialog, possibly increasing it so it "looks" further upward.
