    Default Lines that should be hidden...

    Some lines that are hidden shows up in 3D views. When I zoom in on where the lines are, they dissappear. Why is this happening and is there a way to fix it? BTW: The unwanted lines also appear when printed on a printer and when I print to a pdf file.

    Is it possible that the lines in question have been reworked with model lines or the linework tool.

    No! Why would the lines disappear when i zoom in on them then? The lines that are showing is the bottom edge of the floor, but they are hidden by the outer finish layer of the walls below it. The material of the walls is standard concrete and not transparent.

    Did you join the floor to walls, or allow the wall to be cut by the floor? Does this happen in a 3d view (isometric) or only perspectives (camera views)? Seems like Stuntmonkey had a similar post recently dealing with hidden lines and perspective views with PDF issues.

    Yes, the walls are cut by the floor. It happens in every 3d view, isometric and perspective views. It does not happen in elevation views. The outer structure/layer of the wall is only 10mm thick. I tried changing the thickness to 25mm, but the problem was still there.

    Try detaching the floor from the walls for the 3d look.

    Didn't help. Thanks anyway. Must be see-through concrete

    I can fix this with the linework tool. I guess it's a bug and will be fixed in the next release.
