Remove grid lines from curtain wall panel

Hello, I have made a curtain wall panel family - repeating circle pattern.  The pattern works great but is there any way to remove/hide the gridlines that are between each panel.  The family is a 6" x 6" module and after applying to a curtain wall, that is a lot of grid lines.  The only method that has worked is picking each panel and changing linework to invisible line.  I thought maybe there is a dynamo script or something similar that could make the process less tedious.

 

Thanks,

Why does it matter?  Grid Lines aren't Visible.

When I want to show in shaded or hidden line, the lines are all there.  Maybe those are not gridlines but panel outlines in the family.  I am not able to hide the border lines of the extrusion in the family though

Overlap two curtain walls:

- One with no grid divisions with a system solid panel

- One with 6x6 grid division, custom panel with only round element

thanks for the replies, I was hoping that there was some way when creating the curtain panel family (the round elem ent) that I could hide the edges of the extrusion.  show edges works great but is view specific and turns off all edges in the whole model.  I need many of these panesl at 8' so I was hoping to just save one with the lines hidden/invisble and then copy and paste.

were you able to do this by overlapping the curtain walls.  I did one solid panel and then did another with teh round element (which is a void revolve) and the solid panel just seems to fill in the round elements

Here is with Hidden view when you cannot turn off edges.

Can't seem to get this to work as a void form, cutting half circles out of solid panel curtain wall?  Any thoughts. 

 

Thanks,
