Graphic Override for Beams

Hello! I am working on ceiling plans and trying to use a GO (grey fill) for the ceiling beams. I noticed that the GO I created only works with the beam that is set in an elevation below the cut plane and not the one above that. I played with changing the home story, however that doesn't make any change. Any ideas how to make the GO apply to the second beam displayed on my attached screenshot? Thanks in advance!

In addition to what @Barry Kelly & @Lingwisyer suggested you may try to create a new storey for ceiling level and set walls to be shown in All relevant Floors and beams to be shown in home storey and one storey down as they are linked to Roof floor as home storey,

the last thing to adjust FPCP to show above ceiling till down the roof slab as @Barry Kelly clarified before & as the attached ScreenShots.

If you do not need to default hidden overhead display for the beam, you could set it to Outlines Only. It will basically ignore your FPCP then and retain it's cover fill.
