changing roof hatch line weight

[Anonymous]

Hi folks,

I'm in a battle with Revit trying to work out hatch line weights. How the hell do I increase the line weight of the roof hatch in this image below. I want it to match the wall cladding hatch below which pops considerably more.

Thanks in advance

Did you check the Surface pattern used in the Roof's Material?

• Select Roof >> Edit Type >> Edit Structure >> Edit Material >> Check Surface Pattern color

Yes I've triple checked the surface pattern color and its got me stumped as its got the same surface color as the cladding below......there must be some other setting which is dulling the color because its certainly not the black that its suppose to be

Yes there are several which can affect graphics...

1. Check view template
2. Check Overrides / Halftones
3. Check phasing
4. ...

We can keep guess or you can upload the model for checking 🙂

Hey @RDAOU 

I've sent you a private message with link to model. Thanks heaps for your help

Side Note (For Roofs, Use Model Pattern instead of Drafting)

That is the effect/behavior (faded pattern) on sloped surfaces...I do not think you can change or override itThis effect is also affected by

1. the line weights.
2. the density of the pattern
3. Slope of the surface (the less the slope , the more the fade out) 

Changing line weights to suit different scales (thinner at smaller scales) should fix/mitigate the problem 

If you are using too thick line weights and you disable thin lines...At Smaller Scales (1/50 >> 1/1000) the surface patterns might either blend to show a solid surface or entirely disappear. 

see sample below (from your model at scale 1/20, 1/50, 1/100) ... Thin Lines disabled and line weights adjusted
