How to set thick section cut

[teohjingrou]

This is a section, however the section cut wall didn't appear to be thicker? How can I change it?

Turn OFF Thin Lines (TL)

First, try turning off the thin line override:

[teohjingrou]

when i turn off thin line, the ground floor plan will become like this? Is there anyway that I only want section cut line to be thick, but floor plan remain thin?

[teohjingrou]

But my floor plan will become super THICKK also, how do i remain thin line in floor plan but thick line in section?

That's what View Visibility and Graphics Overrides is for.

You need to setup your line weights properly so that they are correct for every view.  Keep in mind Revit prints actual line weights, not thin lines.

[teohjingrou]

I hv tried to go Manage > Additional settings > Line weight >

but there is no name of the line, all is numbering only

[teohjingrou]

I have tried to change the visibility graphic, after i apply, it still the same 😞

From your screen capture, we can see that the Thin Line override is still active which is why all lines are still thin.

Another thing to understand about Revit is that there are several places where objects can be assigned a pen thickness. There is a hierarchy, where you can set the starting object line thickness for all views then you can assign overrides by view using either a family by family override or using filters, and finally you can force an individual object in a view to be overridden for that view only.

May I know what's the name of line for 5) Sectional Perspective, the interior dotted line? I wanted to change it to solid line.

[barthbradley]

Change WHAT?  

[teohjingrou]

How to change the line patterns of perspective line from dash to solid line (as that one you shown is line weight only)

Theses lines are not a hidden line type but rather the result of your screen resolution not being high enough to show them as continuous. Zoom into the view and they should appear continuous or print the page to a PDF and zoom check if continuous.

This is an exported pdf and I zoom it to the maximum, it appear as dashed line. But when I view the sheets in revit file, it is continuous line haha, so I am quite confused why the pdf outcome will be different

The broken line appearance may also happen when the wall and roof elements are coincident but not joined. Can you try to attach the wall element to the roof?

[teohjingrou]

Yes, they are attached already
