Make lines invisible in all views

Anonymous

The title is basically the question.

I have this complex structure, which I modeled through a patterned surface, on which I loaded an hexagonal family: but in the moment I load the family those unpleasant lines between the hexagons appear on the surface. How do I remove them? My idea was to either

- make the surface smooth - didn't find a way to

- delete the surface without deleting the structure of family  - didn't find a way to

- make the lines hidden in all views, which is why I am posting here now. 

 

Ideas? I am in dire straits.

I think that when you create this family maybe you use lines model instead of lines of reference you only need to delete or change the line sketch to invisible inside the family then you need to charge the family and override the oldest.

Thank you, but I don't quite understand. I make the hexagonal family as a pattern based family, making an extrusion along an hexagonal profile, so I don't know there I could use either model lines or reference lines - except from the one of the pattern which I already used.

you can upload the family that i can see what is the problem i think is the sketch lines that you create but i need to see it.

Thanks you. I attach the family and a copy of the dome I made in the project, but as a parametric mass

Ok i now what is happening, first that all you need to clean your families because if you use in the future could create a big problem. Your family is little rigide for your purpose is almost flat, this thins that you see are division of the crystal not simples line the crystal tried to adapt to the curvature and the divisions that you see are the result, for the crystal could be adapted i recommend you create one adaptive component for the crystal and the nested this family to Hexagon curtain panel and finally charge in your family mass, then maybe you don't have all this division that you have now .
