Profile lineweights on Walls

When I do a wall sweep with a profile, they become part of the wall and I
can't control the profile's line weights.

My wall projection linewights are thick so sweeps need to be much thinner.

The object styles don't have anything called profiles.

Even when I created this profile, the only two things in the line category
was <invisible> and profile types loaded. Even there, there was no control
for it...

Is there a way to control profile line weights at creation or after being a
part of something? (such as a wall sweep...)

Thanks

If I understand you correctly, you want to control the lineweight of your wallsweeps?
 
Wallsweeps are a sub-category of the wall under Category Visibility, and are called "Wall Sweeps - Cornice".  The Projection and Cut line styles of these elements can be controlled here.

I changed the thickness but it has no effect. My vertical wall reveals still has the same thickness. Is there anything I can do?
 
Thanks

When I created this profile, the lines are subcategories of "Profile". When this profile is used as a vertical wall reveal, shouldn't it show up in the Object Categories as a subcategory of wall or as a category on its own? Am I missing something here?

How are you cutting the reveal? With the wall hosted sweep tool?
Or as an in-place family?

With the wall hosted vertical reveal tool.

Ahhh... Reveal! 
 
Since what remains after the reveal is made is a cut away portion of the host (in this case the wall) the wall's properties will be used to show the feature.

You can also use linework to modify sweeps and reveals that are joined to walls.  Sometimes there can be overlapping lines so you may have to click on an apparent segment more than once to get it to change.
