Composite lines expression in drawing

Zendrix
Expert

Hi all! New to archicad.

Just created my first composite: brick wall with 2cm plaster on each side. I always liked, as a 2d plan representation, to have the outer cut lines thicker than the inside cut lines.

 

Is the proper way to go about it to decrease the thickness of the composite inside cut lines / increase the thickness of the outer cut lines? If so, that would mean i would have to change that expression to all the composites i wanna use, right? Or is there a more efficient way to do it?

 

Cheers,

Yes, you will need to use different pens for the various skin lines.

Because they are currently all the same pen (number 1), you have no choice other than to set a different pen.

 

Once you have different pens, you can control the pen thicknesses by applying an alternative pen set with different pen thicknesses (and colours if you want).

But for now if you are new, just set different pens in the composite.
