Zoom out and view of internal lines of elements ( z-fighting)

[f.annoscia1XRNMD]

Good morning.

How can I set the appearance of the internal lines of the elements, so as to never display them?

When I zoom out of the view, by default some lines appear that are immediately behind the facade plane (beams in the wall, slabs in the wall, internal lines of a steel column, etc).

As you zoom in, these lines disappear.

In order to use the views, I would need to display only the lines actually visible in reality, not the internal ones, even when the zoom is wide.

I don't remember this happening in Revit 2022, maybe it's a new Revit 2023 setting, but I'm not sure.

Thank you.

I expect what you see is z-fighting. This is a well known phenomena in computer graphics.

When you have multiple pixels art the same place the graphics card has trouble which one to show. When moving (e.g zooming,  animations) this often results in flickering.

Exspecially when zooming out this can happen. Even if pixels are not exactly in the same place they become relatively so close that it still wil happen.

I expect you have your floor up to the outside edge of the wall?

Basically something to be corrected (you have now two pieces of mass at same place, floor material and wall material), which is of course impossible in real life.

Thank you.
I tried to apply this setting (figure below) to some profiles that fit into the floor, but it doesn't seem to work: I see the floor in the same way, it is not cut. Could this be a solution for steel parts in the wall?
On the other hand, as regards the slab, how could I have cut the wall from slab?

Ps.
Would a different graphics card overcome this problem?

Thanks for the schooling @Anonymous. "Z-Fighting". Sounds like the title of a Marvel Comic Book.  I never heard this term before - and there's a whole Wiki page about it too.  Learn something new everyday 'round here.
