How should dashed lines be drawn due to their broken nature?

Dashed lines are typically drawn lightly to convey a sense of brokenness or separation without overwhelming the visual representation. The lightness helps maintain clarity and allows the viewer to understand that these lines indicate a different type of relationship or boundary compared to solid lines, which denote direct connection or permanence. A darker application could cause confusion, making it hard to discern the distinction intended by using dashed lines. By keeping dashed lines light, you ensure that they remain an effective visual tool in architectural and design representations.
