Line Weights In Layout

So...I send an Elevation view to layout.  How do you control the weights of specific lines so for instance...the edges of the roof are bolder than say the shingle texture on the roof?  Or...the trim on the building stands out from the brick or siding veneer?

 

Is this something I need to setup in the plan file before I send it to layout?

 

I know you can edit line weights in layout...but this seems tedious to have to do an entire elevation this way. 

 

If there is a good tutorial on this somewhere please point me to it.

 

Thanks!

I could be wrong, its been a long time since I set up my anno-sets but aren't the pattern lines adjustable from either the layer set  MAYBE BUT NOT RECOMMENDED or the material pattern lines  YES I AGREE,  PROBABLY THE BEST METHOD. You can also adjust them in the layout box TOO MUCH WORK.

The use of Anno-sets makes this a 1 click situation. Set up an anno-set for elevations sent to the layout, turn patterns down, roof planes bigger, windows bigger or however you want.

Perry,

Good info! Another good use for anno-sets. Alan, thanks for taking the time to show the thumbnails.

Scott, Thanks for the help.
