I am making a 2D sketch with lines. I know that I can go into styles-\>edit-\>profiles and adjust the thickness. But when I do this, every line changes to that thickness. Is there a way to select just one line and change its thickness?

No. SketchUp is a 3D modeling application. You can use LayOut for 2D.

It can help to distinguish objects with a thicker linewidth than the standard, non changeable linethickness. In theory, you can have three different linewidths: 1=the standard line width Profiles and section cuts which can be set as a factor of the standard. These are used to scale in LayOut, for instance.
