Hey Revit forum
I ask you, because none of my teachers know the
answer. I seek to know how I can define 'Cut-profile' lines thickness.
When I make a callout and use Cutprofile it seems often as thick lines
insted of standard thin line, which look very silly in the drawings.
When it becomes too much, I have no choice but to use the field region
instead, which is not very BIM. Can you explain how Cut-profile line
clean can be changed?
Best Regards

I think the thickness of cut profile lines is the same as the thickness of the cut lines defined for the category. Do you want them to show differently?
I always thought that the cut profile line weight supposed to match the line weight of the layer that is cut, but actually it’s taking the weight of the category projection line weight, which kinda make sense since cut profile line is a 2D element.
Cut profile thickness will go with the category
to me it would make more sense if the cut profile line would take the cut line weight instead of the projection line weight. Because you always cut the profile of an element that is cut in view (you can't even cut profile of objects that are in projection), and typically you would want the line weight of the made cut/extension to match the line weight of the host element which uses the cut line style.

go into visibility/graphics Overrides (VG)
bottom right above the OK button there is a 'Cut Line Style'
Go in there and edit the lines to whatever you require
This worked! The only limitation is when a view template is used one has to uncheck the V/G Overrides Model. Now each view is a variable and in each view one will have to perform this edit.
To clarify on the original question: The graphic issue occurs when one extends the component profile past its limit versus cutting it back or notching it. Editing the Override Host Layers to set the respective layers to Line 1 gave me the results I was looking for. Now if Autodesk can make that applicable in a template controlled view, the world would be just that much more perfect.
I'm also struggling to find a way to do this that can be applied to more than one view at a time.
The issue is that when you override any of the cut line styles, it applies to to everything. So all of our "standard line weights" get completely trashed when you override. There needs to be a "modify line type" tool that can be used here to only override the line that you used to cut the profile, not an entire classification of areas.
Still unsure of how to fix this on a project wide sense, if anyone has any updates that would be awesome.
Thank you!
