I am new to Revit Architecture and ran into a issue that might be an easy fix. Or not. I am designing a project that has the foundation wall that is 4'-0" below grade to top of footing. Our standards is to show the foundation wall and footings dashed in building elevation view. I was able to show the footings this way but the foundation wall has the same visibility/graphics as the walls above grade. Can I create a foundation wall that is not a footing? Our foundation walls are 12" concrete with 2" foundation insulation on the exterior.

You can use filters to override graphic of walls depending on a wall's function which is a type property of a wall, just make sure you use a proper wall type: foundation wall should be 'Foundation' while a wall above the ground 'Exterior', 'Interior', etc. under Function in type properties.
There are some other options that will likely work better if part of the foundation wall needs to remain a solid line (above Grade) and some of it is hidden (below grade).
I did a quick video on the top two options which is attached.
These are the options
The walls function is set to "Foundation". But the visibility is controlled by "Walls", which also controls the exterior walls,and the footings are controlled by "Structural Foundation". Is there a way to have the visibility for the foundation wall to also be controlled by "Structural Foundation"?
Thank you

A filter would be the best bet for that...or hide the walls by element for the ones you don't want to see.
To add to this, creating a Filter based on the wall Function criteria works if the entire Foundation walls are below grade. If the condition is similar to what @Revit_Whisperer shows in her sample, then the part above grade of the foundation walls would show dashed as well.
If the intent is to show the profile of the foundation for a contextual understanding and/or graphical standards, then I would just use drafting lines constrained to the model geometry, and put them over a masking region (or terrain cut fill, if you have it).
It is really a case by case basis, depends on your intent and the actual condition and the inter-relationship of the building and the site.
