Creating lineweights for Revit

[jarrad27]

I am trying to create our standards for lineweights to use in Revit. I am taking our cad lineweights, and making them better. I have 16 lineweights that I am happy with, at least in one scale I do. My question is: Do I need to take the set of lineweights i have (for 3/32" scale), do the math, and make the remaining scales proportionalte? I have included a screenshot as an attachment.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

The Lightweights that are listed under each column are what will be the final Lineweight "on paper". In the image below, the upper line has a shrinking Lineweight as the View Scale shrinks. The lower line, however, has a constant value across the board so the Lineweight stays consistent regardless of the View Scale.

If you wish the lines to display a Lineweight that is thicker or thinner depending on the View Scale, then yes, you'll have to enter the appropriate Lineweight value for each applicable Scale.

If you only need that one set of plotted lineweights you can delete the other scales. View scales default to the neareast value. Since there would only be one they'll all use that. It's a lot less to look at and manage. We've deleted all but the 1/8" scale for our standards.

It's interesting that architects often vary thier plotted lineweights based on a view's scale but I've never seen a set of MEP documents do the same. I guess we all skipped that lesson 😉

I set up model scale is "custom" 1/300 or 1/150. So how to setting the line weights for those scale since the Revit line weights table only for some standard scales such as 1:10, 1:100...
