Seemingly random lines in family showing up

Hiya,

I've been modelling a bench and there are some weird lines showing up (image attached). Which sometimes appear when the angle changed while making an extrusion and sometimes they just don't show up at all?

Is there a way to get rid of these?

I think it depends of the extent of the angle but any change in plane should show a physical line to denote an edge you could try and smooth this out with a curve or you can always use the Linework Tool > Invisible

This is done in the Revit Model not the Family.

Aha, is it not possible to hide these in the family then? Trying to keep everything as families so it's easy to import into Navisworks or Synchro.

No unfortunately, hence the suggestion of a smoothing option with a curse rather than an angle bend.
