I started using ArchiCAD about 9 years ago, and within the first week I was saying to myself "why can't we change line weights for things that are farther away. Line weights and colors are the primary graphical tool for elevations. There is little information on elevations besides graphical information. The main purpose is to visually show the building in an easy to read manner. When line weights and colors/hues/values cannot be used to distinguish how far away something is in elevation most of the purpose of an elevation is missing. I have resorted to placing a 3D rendering of the side of the building next to the elevations themselves so that people can understand what the elevation is actually representing (and this is 8 years later!) Even this is not that great because you have to keep looking back and forth at the two images, when one image with adjustable line weights would do that job for the viewer easily.
I good idea at first a first glance, but usable to only the small group of very advanced users. I think it will overcomplicate the work process in an application that is getting more and more complicated already. According to me GS had more important issues to address first.
