How to display a wall on story below??

Hello, this seems like any easy one. I want to show the ground floor walls in my foundation plan as doted lines. In the wall settings under floor plan display, it only gives me the option to show on 'home story only' or 'all relevant stories.' So it is unlike an object where you can show 'home story and one story below' etc. I have tried the various settings under 'all relevant stories' but I just cant seem to get them to show. What haven't I looked at?

DuncanB:

Change the Wall to Floor Plan Display > Show on Stories > All Relevant Stories, Floor Plan Display > Floor Plan Display > Projected with Overhead, and Floor Plan Display > Outlines > Overhead Lines > Dashed. You will then need to adjust the Floor Plan Cut Plane settings for each story so they include the wall, this should be simple for the main floor but may take some calculation for the foundation level. The FPCP is saved as part of the View, so be sure to set the correct settings there.
