Hello, I’m wondering if it’s possible to thicken a specific line or polyline without enabling True Line Weight?
Operating system used: Windows

Hi.
Short answer, no. Because disabling true line weight, you will see each line as a vectorial line (no matter how much you zoom in, it will still display as a hairline).

Another short answer, it depends... 🙂
We use a symbol line to make things visible, like fire resistance for doors.

Even when line thickness is turned off, the lines still have thickness based on the pen setting.
Turning thickness off just makes it easier to work with the lines on the screen.
it will not affect the output unless you print with hairlines as well.

Yes ! You need to find the line setting parameters like @Barry Kelly says. Pen settings and pen sets and graphic overrides all play a part in this along with the dialogue box for the elements that are being represented by those line types. I know it’s complicated and confusing in Archicad but once you get accustomed to it, it becomes much easier for us. My biggest gripe with Archicad. You can search changing line thickness.
