Hi Wayne

In the layer list select the layer to edit and change the line weight as you see fit.

Note that even 2mm might be very thin in the model view if you are creating a floorplan.

The line weight is mainly relevant for printing. A 2mmm line is always printed on paper as 2mm thick, also if you print at a scale of 1:100.

To see how your drawing gets printed, you can switch to print preview:
