....................Is there a way to have detail components show up in both a building section and a callout or detail blowup without having to draw them twice? Next probably dumb question: What is the easiest way to adjust the line weights of detail components and wall outlines in sections? Thanks in advance for tolerating, I hope, the dumb questions.

I usually add my detail components to my detailed view (callout) then If I want them in the referring view, I just copy them to clipboard from the callout and paste same place in the referring view. If I make changes later, I just blow away the detail elements/lines in the referring view and re-copy/paste them in. Easy & quick to do. Not all detail components are created equal..... Obviously, you can over-ride the line values of detail elements in any view using VG but because of the above, this may not be what you want. I prefer to edit the family of those details I often use so that I don't continue to have this problem. CMU's are an example of detail elements that are just plain drawn wrong to begin with in the REVIT library. All of it's lines are drawn Heavy and yet this unit is never used by itself. I changed the family in my library to all thin lines and add heavy lines where required.

The reason I asked for the version you are working on goes along with what WWHub recomended. He says to copy and paste them from view to view which I agree with completly. The only thing I have to add is if you are working in 2008 you should make all the detail componants as a group and just copy the group around, that way if you make a change to one it automaticly reflects all the way through. Only do this grouping with 2008, not 9.1 or earlier.
