Thick lines in window in Complex Profile Wall

Anyone have any idea where the pen is that is creating the very thick line in this window?

Another thing I've noticed is that windows in the wall with a complex profile are not scale sensitive, which I noticed as a result of the screen redraws taking longer when these walls were introduced.

When the window is deleted the thick lines go away so it has something to do with the window but there is no way access whichever pen that is getting screwed up that I can find.

This is a guess, but you might try changing the Wall's Floor Plan Display option to Cut Only, or looking at the Wall's Uncut Line Pen. I think the issue is with the Wall's settings, not the Window's, as Complex Walls cannot be set to Symbolic Floor Plan Display.

That did the trick thanks, the second thing you said that is ie the Wall's Uncut pen thickness.

What was confusing me was when I deleted the window the thick line went away. Also to discover that windows loose their scale sensitivity when placed in Complex Profile walls

I am not seeing this. Assuming that the parameters under General Settings for the Scale Values are the same for the 2 windows, does the Window in the Complex Profile Wall have its Floor Plan Display set to Symbolic? The Symbolic uses the 2D Script, the others are a cut through the 3D model.
