In Settings>Line Styles, change the hidden line to a higher Line Weight
Projection. Or make a new linestyle called Thick Hidden and increase the
number in Line Weight Projection. The numbers match up to thickness of line
in the Settings>Line Wieghts dialog box.

I got that to work but when I draw the line over a wall it is hidden by the wall and not visible. How can I draw this line over walls and still be visible,
Thank you

Are you drawing model lines from the Basics/Modeling tab or detail lines from the Drafting tab of the Design Bar. If you are drawing model lines in a view, such as a floor plan then the model line is going to be at the floor plan Level.

Question: Does the line need to show in a 3D view? if not draw detail lines, they have draw order buttons on their Option bar to control what they display over or under.

Also, detail lines display on/across building components.
