Help with sweeps - Why is the profile line visible after sweep?

[Anonymous]

Consider just a very simple sweep feature - sweeping a model that resembles
a "candy cane," or a "hook" or "walking cane." Just a letter "J" on your
keyboard.

After sweep, I can see where the straight region turns into a curve.
Basically, there is a visible profile line at the intersection between the
curved section and the straight section.

How do I remove that to make it look all homo?

Guessing what you are seeing is the tangent line on the faces (your path is a
line and an arc?) If you use a spline for the path there is no discontinuity
in curvature (which a tangent intersection is) and no broken (by the tangent
line) faces.

However if you already have it done and just want to turn off the edges I
think

tools/app options/display/

and uncheck active edge display
