Wall's Plan view Line wight

[Firmso]

Why do some of my wall cut-line Line weights display as monochrome and some show the right thickness regardless of what Detail Level is assigned to the enlarged room plans?

Edit: Some plans are displaying the correct line weight and some plans are stubbornly Monochrome in comparison.

Thanks in advance.

Are you working with phases? Maybe some of your walls are set to a different phase, thus being controlled by the phase filter style.

No, no phases used on this project. All new. Some walls displaying monochrome are also shown in other enlarged plan views and show up nicely.

Thanks

More info:

First of all, I think I should mention that this project is a three story residence that was started off by someone else and I was asked to jump in and iron out things in the model the other guy of course didn't quite know how to do (3d model was a mess), to include setting up the sheets, drafting graphics, etc.. Just about everything actually.

So, after an intensive and thorough evaluation, I've discovered that the 2nd floor plan level view (not the enlarged plans) behaved differently from the 1st and 3rd floor plan views. When the detail level is set to Course for the 2nd floor, it displays the wide outlines for the wall but, when set to Medium or Fine, it displays as monochrome unlike the other two floor levels. So therefore, when the Callout Views were created, they inherited the Detail Level properties of the parent view.

My original question(s) should have been:

1) How do I set all floor plan views to have the same Detail Level setting property after the fact?

2) What created this effect in the first place?

I hope this is clear enough.
Thanks

It's hard to say what may cause your walls to show like that. Maybe someone used the override option on some views...

What you can do to be sure all the views have the same graphical standards is to go to the view that's showing properly, right click on its name on the project browser, "Create view template from the view", then select all other views and "Apply View Template".

Doing that you are sure that all views will gave the same settings as the one that is looking fine.

Review warnings and make sure there are no walls directly on top of walls (doubled-up).

Thanks Andre. The suggestion worked like you described it. However, I feel that there should be another way to do this. When I override the view, unfortunately it also overrode the Visibility/Graphics settings and categories were shown when they should'nt. I was hoping there is another way which generally controls the visibility of the walls when the Detail Level is changed.

[Andre Carvalho]

I understand. The problem was we didn't know what was causing it. So we took one "good" view and applied its settings to the other "bad" views. However, if we knew the setting to change, like for instance change the detail level from coarse to fine, and you wanted to do that in all other views, you could just select the views you want (holding shift key wile selecting them on the Project Browser), right click on it > Properties and change the detail level from coarse to fine. It will change only this in all the selected views. So, that being said, there's a way to change an specific setting for multiple views without changing the visibility/Graphics to all of them. Using view templates will match ALL settings.
