Hi fellas!
I've used a "trick" where we get the line between sections to dissappear by using a filter that hides the line (with a linestyle consisting of a dot and spaces.
But we're facing some problems with split sections where we get this look. Does anoyne have a workaround to solve this kind of issue?
(doesnt work to join the gap and move it individually either). Revit 2016, old project running.

not sure I understand what is the actual problem and why did you use such solution, I can recommend you try to do what I wrote here:

Maybe section line can be white colorued, just draw what's missing?
Hi, thanks for reaching out.
I want the line between the section tails to hide. Changes in object styles doesn't seem to make any difference(?).
The filter trick kinda solved it, except the part shown in the picture above.
The offending lines you see, are a result of the way Revit displays a line pattern. The pattern is center justified, and all excess is drawn with a solid line.
The only way to achieve what you desire, is to drag all line ends to a suitable position manually.

Have you tried this with a split section?
I've been adjusting it manually for a while but can't get it to completely dissappear.
Which is what we want (gets cluttered with those section lines going all the way).
...actually I think @RobDraw already answered it, just click the 'gaps in segments' symbol. Or neither/none of us understand the issue ^^ (...or is/was this not available in 2016?LT?)
@martijn_pater I was trying to reporoduce my advice to place a section tag inside of a view crop box - this doesn't help me now. This issue appears randomly. Sometimes you can easily drag the dots and hide lines, but sometimes dots are missing or you can't just hide these lines. As I remember this issue with split segment sections (jogged sections) was in Revit always (at least up to Revit 2020).
This is the needed section (plan view).
When you hide a section line - you can see small remainders close to section tags. Normally you can drag a dot and move it over a section tag (hiding these lines).
Here I was trying to drag the right line dot over the right section tag. This results in random tag jumping (in the center).
Here I was trying to drag the left line dot. After the first try - pay attention, that the tag dot has dissappeared. After that nothing you can do, to move the left line dot to the left (but it moves smoothly to the right). Also, I was trying to use "Tab"-selection (maybe a tag dot comes over a line dot?)
As I wrote, this issue comes randomly. Sometimes you can easily hide these lines, sometimes you need to fight 🤣
