Understanding Revit line weight settings
- [Instructor] This week I want to talk about the line weight settings dialogue. Now to help us do that, I've created a file here that contains a series of lines. One of each of the 16 pens that are available in Revit. And then I've created copies of those across various scales. Now, the reason that I've created this matrix that you see right here, is because if we go to the manage tab, and go to the additional settings dropdown, and choose line weights, what you're going to see is that there are 16 pen numbers listed here. Let me just make this dialogue a little larger so we can see everything, there we go. So we've got 16 pen numbers listed here on the left, and then across the top, we have a series of scales. Now by default in the templates that ship with Revit, we have six scales across the top, but notice over here there are two buttons to add and delete scales. So scales you don't use can be deleted, and scales that you want to add that are not on the list, you can add those in.…
