I have a 3D-DWG with polyface meshes. When I import this file in Revit I see all the lines which connect the points in the mesh.
All the points are on the same level. I wonder if there is a possibility to make these lines invisible in Revit.

If these lines are native to the imported .dwg, they're on a layer.

Highlight the imported .dwg, push the "Query" radio button on the toolbar above, select the line, and a dialog will pop up, where you can select "hide in view".

Thanks for your reaction.
The problem is that all the lines in the polyface are on one layer. I want the edges to be visible but the other lines between the vertices to be invisible.

I find it easier to just recreate the object with revit's tools and delete the dwg.This way I have full control of the object and I can make it parametric.
