    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What you see here is an indication that the faces(the underlying triangles) are not co-planar.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Every polygon is made of triangles. Now, if it's not possible to do something about this, what you can&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Do is unify the vertices normals of each of those problematic polygons:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1- Add an Edit Normals modifier, and make sure the Normal sub-level is selected&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2- In the Parameters rollout witch to Face.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3- Start with one of the areas having the issue by dragging a rectangle selection that covers both sides&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Of the problematic edge that you wanna hide:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="drag a rectangle selection" style="width: 712px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1032623iD7BABA41FB44F6D7/image-dimensions/712x432?v=v2" width="712" height="432" role="button" title="mormals.JPG" alt="drag a rectangle selection" /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;drag a rectangle selection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The corresponding normals will turn red, now click the Unify button.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Do the same with the other areas.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In the end, you can collapse the stack if you like.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;No matter what i do i cant get rid of the lines in the geometry.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The flat planes are smoothing Groupe one.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;the edges next to&amp;nbsp;smoothing Groupe one is one and two the edges smooth fine but the flat plane continues to get lines in the geometry? Any idea why this is happening?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="test2.jpg" style="width: 999px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1032474i7DCB4B1DFE1D1CE6/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="test2.jpg" alt="test2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
