Line Weights not changing

Hi,

 

I am creating a family with nested families. I have a section cut detail component which I want put in a family. I inserted the detail and saved it as a family and nested the same to another bigger family. When I nest it there, the line weights are not able to be reduced. Is there any step which I am missing or should I manually draw each component, which I think is not generic.

 

Please advice.

verify the following:

 

1.  Object Styles dialog box settings for detail components

2.  Subcategory of lines created if necessary

3.  Object style is added inside the families

I am still getting the thick lines Smiley (traurig). I tried changing the line weights in the families. 

What I did was I imported the detail item from the revit libraries and put it in one family and again nested these two to another family and finallly loaded to a project. I changed the object styles, created sub categories but when I load it to a project The line thickness doesn't change.

Please can you help me out here

if you can attach the families, we can look at it for you.

Thank you. I am attaching the nested family. Whne you load it to a project and place it on a wall. ( A wall based family). And do a section cut. The detail lines are thick. Please tell me how to control that and I will be good.

 

Thanks for the help! @dzanta

In your family : Nominal Cut Lumber-Section.rfa the boundary line type is set to Heavy Lines - I think this might be the cause you your issues.

@Keith_Wilkinson it worked!!

Should I use the same concept for walls and any other line weight problems. I would like to create a sub category of line weights and apply them to every job. Is that possible?

Generally everything in your project is controlled under object styles.  If you create new sub categories in your families they will ultmately appear there as well.  I try to keep things as consistent as possible and don't go creating unnecessary sub categories.  Keep it clean and simple and you should be fine.

I think we have a similar issue - if we take a family and in our project file join it to a wall, the family takes on the line type properties of the wall. Is there a way for the family to join without changing line weights? Is this also an object style issue?

What kind of family?
