Ghost lines in civil 3d profiles

I'm working on profiles for the first time - built my pipe network.

 

I have these dotted ghost lines - can anyone tell me what they are and what I might have "on" that is causing them?

Thanks!

Could you post a screen shot of the subject area? Can't make out the dots in question.

I'm sorry I don't know how to post a screen shot...hope you get the idea here. I wonder if I have some pipe clicked "on" that is not displayed but is showing up somehow?

 

Very new to the pipe network in civil 3d thing...

Can you select the dotted lines? Any information as to whether they are pipes etc.?

I can select it and it is the pipe that is shown normally in the same view.

Thanks, It appears as though your "Crossing" items are set to Display in the Pipe style in use.

 

Select Pipe>Rt Click>Edit Pipe Style>Display Tab>View Direction: Profile>Turn off display for anything with "Crossing" in the component name.

 

Note: this may adversely affect other crossing pipes etc. To have the best of both worlds set up a "Pipe" style and a Crossing style with appropriate display options selected.
