POCKET DOOR LINE WEIGHT

Anonymous
Not applicable
Good evening,
Archicad 22 USA 5009
See attached image, checking to see if anyone is having this problem with the pocket door. When the true line weight is on the inner pocket lines are very thick, and I have tried all settings within the pocket door.

If I place the door in a Basic wall the line weights are fine, but if I place the door in a Complex Profile wall the line weights are thick.

Any ideas? Or a bug?

Edit:
After some troubleshooting it seems that the thick pen line in the wall pocket is defaulting to a certain pen color/thickness I have in a custom pen set. If I change that pen thickness in my pen set to a thinner line it changes the thickness of the pocket door wall pocket. Very strange. Especially since I can't find a pen setting for the pocket in the Door Settings.

Thanks,
Jim

I looks like this is controlled by a Wall setting that is only visible for Basic Walls. Change your Wall to Basic, then modify the Wall Settings > Floor Plan and Section > Cut Line Pen to your preference, then change the Wall back to Complex Profile.
