Lineweight in Window Family

PhilvK

Advisor

I created a simple window family, used an extrusion for the glass, and set the extrusion material to 'glass'. I want to reduce the glass extrusion lineweight, but changing the 'cut' thickness of 'Glass' in Object Styles has no effect.  What am I doing incorrectly?Line Weight.JPG

@PhilvK 

 

You assigned material as Glass, not the subcategory...Scroll a little bit more downwards and select from the drop down Glass Subcategory (See GiF below)
