It depends on what element types you're talking about.
Windows have separate pens for 3D parts, walls and slabs just have an "uncut pen" setting.

I am willing to share what I have done. Bringing Archicad into the current firm I am with now has been very challenging. We have great designers and and eyes that are keen to visual graphic output detail. My first AC project for this firm during the construction phase was actually denied. Due to elevation and section visualization of line weights. The section and elevation display is fine if you have accepted the AC program as it. However it was very hard to convince the "eyes" to accept the unmodified sections and elevations. What I have done is changed all pens to the lightest pen and then redrafted with 2-d lines to provide definition. Use object colors and modify line weights
to get your desired results. Hope this works for you.

I am having a difficult time controlling the line weights in my elevations. I can change the pens and it works fine when printing plans but not elevations. Are elevations different some how? Is it the 3D representation the controls the appearance in elevations? Is there a global setting for the view that controls this? Maybe its the detail setting?

I believe there is a pen for what is at distance and the other for front display order.What is this?
