Change your View Scale or change your Walls' Cut Line Weight in the View By Element, By Category or BY Filter.

Cut line weight versus projection line weight. You can change them via VGO or Object Styles. Also, make sure you use the correct scale for the view

HELLO

To manage these line thicknesses, you need to go to the "Manage" tab, then "Additional settings" and "Line thicknesses". Manage the line thicknesses according to their scale. For walls, this must be done in "Model line thicknesses".

Once this is done, you need to go to "replacement model V/G". If there is no active template, the default shortcut is "VV".

If there is a template, open the template and then go to "replacement model V/G".

Once the dialog box is open, click on "replace host layers" and then modify them according to the thickness values you want.

The wall that is highlighted is "shorter" than the other walls and is not "cut" by the view's View Range cut plane. In a typical floor plan the View Range is 4'-0" (1200mm). However, a wall that is less than 6'-0" (2000mm) will not be cut, it won't use the cut pen assigned to the Wall category, it will use the Projection pen.

 

You can work-around this behavior by assigning the wall's Top Constraint to a level above and using a negative offset in the Top Offset parameter to make the wall the desired height. The cut pen will be used to draw the wall instead.

The appearance of your walls in the floor plan is determined by the view range cut plane, which controls the height of the section being cut. What you see is influenced by the cut wall style and the projection wall style. Typically, cut patterns are displayed with thicker lines.

If you want all your walls to display with thin lines throughout your model, go to Object Styles and adjust the line weight for the cut pattern. However, I would not recommend this, as it might be confusing to distinguish between cut and uncut elements.

In this case, you can also create a section plane area that allows you to cut lower at that specific location. This tool can be found in the "View" tab. Then, expand the "Plan Views" tool, and you will see the option "Section Plane Area."
