Making the ductwork lines wider.

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know how to make the rectangular duct outlines lines thicker. I've tried to use their settings but it doesn't change anything. The ductwork is made from 3D faces which it doesn't have any depth but there are actual out lines. I'm wondering how to make those outline sticker.

This sounds like something you can fix with AutoCAD rather than cadMEP settings. Maybe you could post a picture of what is wrong?

LWDisplay set to ON and changing your layer lineweights (in the cadMEP services) to be thicker might be what your looking for, but without a better idea of what your seeing it is hard to say.

After you've tweaked those settings, be sure to do a RebuildAll to regenerate the layers on the existing objects.

The last time I was working on the duct line thickness was about a year ago. And I didn't realize lwdisplay was off. So It is shows when I change the line scale through autocad. Thanks for the reminder. I was hoping to set it up in Fab cadmep so I wouldn't have to set it up every job. I tried to set it up in takeoff/services/cad types. But the max width it can be set to is .083 inches.

I've never had a need for something more extreme than 0.083, but if your project does then just edit your AutoCAD layers. Once fabrication dynamically creates a layer, it pretty much never touches them again.
