Create a blank file. Draw some walls. Create a section viewport. Edit the Section Style class so that it has a light fill and heavy line (such as 0.70mm). In the Viewport's Advanced Properties > Display, set the Line Weight Scale to 1. Set Vectorworks Preferences > Display > Navigation Graphics to "Best Compatibility." Update the section viewport, and draw a line (either inside the annotations or not) and set it to the same thickness as for the Section Style class (the 0.70mm) as a reference. Note that the lines representing the walls at the section plane are not 0.70mm as expected. Change Navigation Graphics to "Best Performance," and then they are as expected. VWIS179
Unfortunately, with Navigation Graphics set to "Best Performance," the colors of objects in viewports that are on layers using layer color overrides are entirely nonsensical (whereas they are as expected with "Best Compatibility." VWIS175
The super powerful Vectorworks Graphics Module seems to have plunged us into a seemingly endless and inescapable world of Vectorworks graphics trauma.
