Thick Lines and Base Plate

[thecadedge]

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum and a beginner in Revit.

I am trying to sketch a 12mm rectangular 2 hole base plate over 75 x 5 SHS. But the square cross section of the column is looking very thick.
Need to change some settings so that it can look like a normal thin line and can be used for sketching.Also what is the best way to model this base plate over the column.Please help.

Thanks in advance.

I can't believe I'm disagreeing with you, MP, but using Thin Lines will only affect the screen display, not the printed version of that family.
cadedge, you need to select a different Line Type when drawing that base plate.
How are you creating that? Lines (bad idea)? Filled Region? Extrusion? (preferred)

I was figuring that the OP is building a family....all the lineweights in there are always really thick. Once they get into the project then they look fine.
