get rid of hidden lines

[pics.munmun]

I have modelled the beam below the columns(as shown in attached pic).

I want to get rid of beam lines showing inside the column. 

also i cannot model beam at face of column as i need analytical model for structure analysis. 

i tried changing object styles but was unable to get rid of them.

Please help me figure out this. 

Thank you

That depends of various factors such as

• Material for Model behavior set in the family (Different material has different behavior ex: Concrete Beams join without a cut-back) Note: this is different than the finish material you set for rendering
• Relation between Column and Beam...you mentioned that you have modeled the beams below the columns. You need to check their Extents (top and Bottom). Except for foundations and piles I would expect the workflow to be from Up >> Down...ie: Beam on top of the column

For the line pattern too several things to check

• Check any overrides
• Check view range and if the beams are shown as <BEYOND> (when beams fall between the the Primary Range Bottom and the View Depth they show in a Line Style called <Beyond> which is by default dashed
• Check if the beam is below the slab and slab and is showing Hidden Lines through

If you provide a section with levels and the view range you are using, it might be easier to understand what you have in the model and help you fix it
