Lineweight and linestyles

[l.yong1]

Hi there,

Does anyone have any good knowledge of adjusting lineweights and linestyles in revit?

Thank you. Have a great day😀

Through experience and an old Autocad habit...

We use Revit in a "simpler" way. Each line style is associated with a lineweight number (from 1 to 16)

now you know by default, that in the lineweight editor each number is associated with a thickness according to the scale.

I haven't come across any company that can truly understand the full scale of the drawing based on line thickness.

Trying to remember every actual lineweight per scale is counterintuitive IMO.

So... you can use it as is or just use the 1:1 scale for each lineweight numbering. We did and it works fine for 90% of our views. Other scales are handled by view templates, and detail views are mostly at 1:5, which already uses the correct lineweight.

Does that make sense?

Line Weight, Line Pattern, and Liner Color are components of Line Style.

How can we expound upon that which is already said on-line through bunches and bunches of articles and videos on the subjects?  Seems there is a plethora of hits using the keywords: "Revit", "Line Weight" and  "Line Styles".   Do none of those hits offer a decent explanation?

Hi Toan,

Thank you for your advise.

Do you sort out the lineweights and linestyles before using revit?

I am getting headache with the lineweights and linestyles in revit.

Is there any way we can sort it out as shown below?
