I'm often frustrated by a limited selection of linetypes when editing families prepared by others.
For example, someone in their infinite wisdom decided to make the outline of a nominal wood section thicker than any other detail componnent line in the library, thicker than I would use for a heavy concrete section, rebar thick. When I tried to change it in the family editor I was given a set of options all of which are either 0 thickness or the heavy line I do not want.
I run into this a lot and usually the line I want is absent. There is also no overide available. Is there a way to add lines to this list?

Those are actually Subcategories; Line Styles only exist within the Project. You can add/modify the available Subcategories by going to Manage tab » Object Styles, and using the tools towards the bottom under 'Modify Subcategories'.
Is there a way to take back a solution? Too late.
Part of the problem remains unsolved. I changed the heavy lines to a lighter lineweight as you instructed. Worked fine.
But when I edited another detail item, a channel where the lines are too light, same category (detail items), there is no heavy line option in that pull down list to make a match.
