Line weight is not showing up in the section view for imported Objects.

I imported a .obj file into REVIT 2024 through the import CAD option in the Insert menu. The imported object comes into Revit as a generic model and can be cut by the section box and in a section. However, the section cut line weight of the object does not show up in the section view.

I would agree that this is a problem with the imported obj file; however, the line weights of the object show up in the plan view.
I have attached screenshots of the plan view showing the line weight of the object in the plan view and the screenshot of the section view, which does not show the line weight of the cut object. I have also attached the Revit file.

Please bear in mind that I have also tried changing the visibility graphics of the line weights for the object.

I would be grateful if anyone could help with this problem,

Thanks in Advance.

...bumped.

I misread. Overrides don't affect Cut Line Weight of this object.

What happens if you import the obj file into a Generic Model Family and then load that Family into Project?

I tried, but I still got the same result.

Exactly like this

Please tell me how did you get that result?

Just export the model in Revit to DWG and link it back in an in place model family. Then you can override cut line weight.

Thank you very much; this works very well, especially for a single imported model. It doesn't work for multi-object import. How would I navigate making this work on a multiobject import, as shown in the Revit file attached?

Which program created the OBJ files?
