Lineweight Justification

[Anonymous]

Hey everyone, Revit noob here

So what I want to know is if there is a way to justify lineweights to the interior of a wall in a section. So that when there is a change in lineweights, for instance a coarse filled wall section to a door jamb, there is no kickout from the change of lineweight. In the revit a section everything looks great with crisp interior and exterior face alignment, but in the pdf, I see noticeable kickouts from the change of lineweights. 

Is there a way to fix this other than putting every lineweight to 1?

In the attached PDF I'm concerned about how the dimension line does not align with the face of the ceiling or floor because of the thickness of the lineweight. It's causing some concern with the people who use these dimensions for their work. They're not sure which line to trust.

Lineweights are center justified.

Lines not 'matching' up should not be an issue, as all dimensions are meant to be read and not scaled.

The center justification is clear and the lines do match up, but the issue I'm having is coming when I print to pdf. In the Revit view everything looks great, but as soon as I view the PDF, I end up with thick lines that cloud the exact precision of the dimensions. I can change all lineweights in Objsect Styles to 1 to solve the issue, but then my drawings do not read as well. Is there no way to alter that center justification? Or is this an issue with my print settings? the pdf I attached shows the issue I am talking about

If you go to View>>Thin Lines, and deselect the Thin Lines button, you will be able to see the lineweights exactly as they will print.

Most organizations have a convention for assigning lineweights to objects. I would make sure that the lineweight usage matches that.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: It wouldn't make sense for a 1-pt weighted dimension witness line to EDGE JUSTIFY to a 5-pt weighted ceiling line. If you scoot the dimension line over, then it's measuring something other than the ceiling.

So the only possible solution would be a faked display/print adjustment to the line justification, and no, Revit doesn't have such a feature.
