Is there a way to change the flex duct line type in 2D? The duct options do not even come close to what we use.

We need it to look similar to the 3D view, to be two lines that represent the width, or a shaded line to represent the width.

3D flex duct looks good in fine detail.

In a recent demo I beleieve that Autodesk was quite explicit in saying that at his time you can't modify the graphical representation of flex duct as it is a system family. Not to say this won't change, you guys are after all only on version 1. :)

Go to Visibility Graphics and expand the Flex Ducts Category. Turn off the "Pattern" item and the application will draw the duct as it it projected from 3D in a plan view.

Also, I assume that you've already played with the "Flex Pattern" parameter on the Flex itself?
