Lineweight issue in template

[EmptySaturnV]

I have just noticed that we have a lineweight issue with a family that we have. This family is set as a generic model. The issue we face is that while using our view template, this generic model has a heavy lineweight even though the weight is set at 1. When we create a brand new elevation and don't use the template, the lineweight shows correctly as being lighter (what 1 normally looks like). I have browsed through our template and compared it to the fresh view and I can't find what is causing the difference. Can any of you compare the two views and tell me why the lineweight of the generic model shows different in the two elevations?

Hi @EmptySaturnV

Glad to hear that the issue is resolved. Below is more information on silhouette edges:

Silhouette edges are view-specific and Revit can automatically apply a line style to silhouette edges.

However there may be edges you do not want to display in silhouette. You can remove these lines as necessary.

To remove a line style from a silhouette edge:

1. Click Modify tabView panel (Linework).
2. In the Type Selector, select <Not Silhouette>.
3. Select the edges in silhouette, and the silhouette is removed.

To apply a line style to a silhouette edge:

1. On the View Control Bar, click  (Visual Style)Hidden Line, Shaded, or Realistic.

   Silhouette edges are not available for Wireframe or Shaded model graphic styles.

2. On the View Control Bar, click  (Shadows Off/On)Graphic Display Options.
3. In the Graphic Display Options dialog, in the Model Display panel, select a Silhouette style (for example, Wide Lines).
4. Click OK.
