Stacked Wall Line Styles

Newer to Revit, please bear with me.  I need a cabinet solution that's quick and easy similar to a wall family..  I've developed a stacked wall family with all the components but I'm not sure how to give the different components their line styles globally as opposed to per-instance.   In the image attached, the left is how it comes in, the right is showing with the overhead, below and hidden line styles changed for the different components.  I've learned that "create similar" does not carry the line style changes over to the new instance either.  Is there a way to accomplish this or a better solution than stacked wall families?

Can you show us the 3D view for the family that you want to create? If you are using a wall family and want to override line style for different assemblies, you need to explode the wall into parts and use filters, which is not a good idea.

What's the point of modeling Cabinetry with Stacked Walls?

Yea... I'm also a bit confused, maybe try creating generic or furniture family? You can easily adjust the graphic by annotation/view in those family templates.

I model cabinetry in Casework Family Templates.   I do that to keep the "I" in my "BIM", if you know what I mean.
