Thicker lines

Anonymous
Not applicable
This might seem a bit more stupid, but i really dont know how can I make the lines in ArchiCAD drawings thicker. I need it for my semestral project documentation.

Im kinda newb in AC.

Thank you in advance.

(this is what i tried: Line types -> create a new one -> make it 0,5 thick -> and then applied the new line in the wall settings, nothing happened, no changes)

Julo,
Are you sure you have true weight set ?
In versions prior to AC 10 this is found
in Display->display options->true weight.
In AC 10, View->On screen view options->true weight must be checked.
You do not need to create a new line type.
You need only change the pen weight of an existing pen color.
I notice that you set the line weight as 0,5.
As far as I know, a decimal point or dot must be used not a comma
or is this how your localized version of AC denotes a decimal point ?
