Modify brush vector thickness in the workflow

Hi everyone,
Is there anyway to change brush vector thickness during the workflow?
For example, I've started painting with a 15 pt vector brush half of my design, now I've realised that 15 pt it's not enough and I need almost 30 pt thickness. Is there anyway to change what I've already done so I don't have to start over?


Thank you for your help,
G

I would open the file in illustrator and add a slight stroke to the shapes (they're shapes not strokes), once done all you have to do is outline the path and merge the two elements using the pathfinder. You could also try to offset the path (it's in the same menu as outline path)

 

 

and see how it goes, depenting if you have sharp corners, it may work or not so much.

 

you'll have to play with the miter limit in both cases and see what works best.

I don't think so. Fresco creates shapes with the Vector brushes, so even opening in Illustrator if you have it would be a slow process to widen the 'strokes'.
