Please do not post everything in 'Archicad+' section.
Try to find an appropriate section of the forum to ask your questions.

Lines in 3D do not have a thickness based on the pen colour.
The only way I know to display thicker lines is to create a 3D Document and turn on the 'true line weight' option.

I do not know any way of creating a dashed or dotted line in 3D - as far as I know they are always solid.
It is possible in GDL, but that is really just a series of short solid lines with gaps in between.
