lineweight

Line's visual density

Lineweight refers to the thickness or weight of a line, particularly in technical drawing, graphic design, and digital illustration software.

Varying lineweights creates visual hierarchy, depth, and emphasis—heavier lines typically indicate foreground elements or important boundaries, while lighter lines suggest background details or construction guides.

In CAD programs, lineweight settings control how thick lines appear both on screen and in printed output.

Adjust the lineweight to make the floor plan more readable.
