I have modeled a building with composite metal panels, and I used hosted wall sweeps for the joints between the panels. The problem is, in my elevation views, the lines at the edges of the sweeps are much too dark, and it makes the drawing very hard to read. I started in with the linework tool this morning, but so far it has taken me an hour and a half to do maybe 1/20th of the building -- much too slow. I can't find anything in the view properties, and there doesn't seem to be a way to override the graphics of wall sweeps. I am missing something?

Is there a way to adjust the weights of all the lines created by the sweeps at once?

 

Thanks for your help.

No, there's no way to do them all at once.  You can control the visibility of wall sweeps, but not reveals.  I usually have found that model lines work in place of reveals - the only problem is that they have to be moved with the wall.

Just an idea for the future, try the curtain wall tool for panelized wall systems.  The panels can be made to be metal and the mullions can be a reveal profile.  Since the mullions are in their own category you could turn them off and they may help your graphics you desire.
