          2d tools does what you ask, but probably not in the way you are thinking. 2d tools draws thick lines and dashed lines as 3 geometry because SketchUp only has 2 line types - Edges and ConstructionLines. There are several different Constrction Line styles, but none can have thickness. You can turn on Profiles from the Styles dialog, but Profiles are only eye candy and do not (can not) change the line thickness.

          Hi

            There's the Dashed Line plugin from smustard.com. It works quite well.

              Thanks I'll give those a try. Just needed to show some hidden lines in floor plan.
              Thanks
