Dashed lines not displaying (or plotting) correctly - shows up with seemingly another layer of dashes underneath

Hi, everyone. I have been having issues with displaying the walls at lower level as dashes. The real issue is, they do display as dashed, but displays as attached. It seems like there is another dashed line overlapping it. I've been having for a long time and have not found a solution to this. Any tip will be appreciated. Help me~~~!

I've seen this happen in my office. It is typically a View Range issue. The view range configuration is showing the Top of one element that is overlapping the Cut of another object. Basically, one dash is representing a Cut Line, and the other dash is a "hidden" Projection Line (corner or edge).

If you cut a section thru that area, how does it look?
What are your View Range settings?

Thank you, humnsell,

Attached are the image of view range setting and a section cut. I am working on Template right now, and walls are not put together in a realistic way, FYI.

As you see, the Bottom and View Depth are set at the same level. I've tried changing Bottom to -1", and it made no difference.

I think I figured it out! I had a floor above those walls, with transparency set to 100%. I changed it to 0%, then made the wall show with hidden lines. That did the trick. Thank you for your support!
