Structural framing members line weights in section.

Is there a way to globally change all my structural framing line weights in section? Preferably without a view template, because I'm constantly changing the detail level and scale. The line weights are too heavy, I want to lighten them up to be able to see more clearly and going through graphic overrides is very time consuming. Visibility overrides seem to only apply to plan views.

Go to Object Styles and change them.

I did that and it gives me what I want but it changes it everywhere like in plan views. So I'm guessing the only way to change it only for sections alone is view templates.

if you don't want to use View Templates, then use Thin Lines.

@ToanDN Well I take back what I said. I made a couple filters and they work good for what I need.

@ChrisGamble : You stated that "visibility overrides seem to only apply to plan views."  Are you saying that Visibility and Graphics Overrides for Structural Framing don't work in your Section View.  They should.  It is possible though,  that you have Element Overrides taking precedence over Category Overrides.  If not, the View Visibility and Graphic Overrides should work in any View.

Yea I saw that it does change in section views also. I had some other variables going on that I couldn't see the change. So it does work but I don't need it to change globally for every view, just sections, so filters work the best for what I need so far.

@barthbradley And overrides work, they just aren't as fluid when drafting.

Using filters is fine.   But why not include the category overrides into view templates for section views?

 

And a view template does not necessary have to control everything.  You can untick any boxes you want to control directly by the views themselves.  For example, the one below only controls Model V/G overrides, the rest are free to be controlled by each view.

Are you talking Rule-Based Filter?  

 

Reason I ask, is because that seems unnecessary if you are just wanting to change the Structural Framing's global line weight in Section View.

I haven't dug into view templates enough to have noticed that. That looks like that'll work too.

You do know about Thin Lines, don't you?

I used a rule based filter but I'm realizing filters don't give much versatility when it comes to the filter rules. Im still in 2018 so when I select multiple categories I only get filter options that are conducive with all the different categories I have selected and the filter makes every object obey that one filters overrides unless I make a bunch of filters for every object category which is limiting. But, as @ToanDN  brought up, the view templates are much more flexible than I recognized, so I think that will work best for now.

Yea, but I need more than one line weight.

@ToanDN My view template isn't working, im assuming its because of this problem explained HERE because I'm using a callout view. How do I work around this?

It works normally here, whether via the Callout view type properties, or via manually assigning the template to the view.

Ahhh, simple mistake, I had the subcategories overridden but not the main category. All set.
