In this video, Shaun Bryant shows you how to work with—and create—lineweights in your Revit projects.
- [Instructor] In the previous video,…when we looked at our Line Styles,…I commented on things like the Line Patterns,…and also the projection.…Now the projection is what relates to the Line Weights…in your additional settings, in your Revit project.…And again, this can be applied…to the same standard methodology…that you might have in your AutoCAD drawings…that you may also use with a particular project in Revit.…So what we're going to do,…we're gonna look at these Dashed Lines we created…in the previous video…using that new line style, Dashed Lines.…
Now, the projection for that was one.…I just left it at the default of one.…Now these Line Weights are really important,…but you need to understand how the projection setting works.…So make note of the scale of the 00_Ground Floor Plan.…Down here, bottom left, it's 1:100.…So now I go into Additional Settings…in the Manage tab, in the ribbon,…and I go to Line Weights.…So we're looking at 1:100 here, like so,…and the projection at the moment…for that dashed Line Style is one.…
