If you rightclick on the section/elevations in the navigator, and enter the settings, you'll find the "story levels in section, and there you have access to the settings of the linetext.

If you enter the settings of the slab, and under "outlines" and "uncut Line Pens, you select a white pen, to make it blend into the background.

I hope this helps. 😃

Vivi:

For the elevation marker text:
1. Go to your On-Screen Display Options and turn on Textbox Handles, this will make selecting the marker text easier.
2. The text will now have a small "L" shaped marker at the lower left corner. Select the text with this marker.
3. Now go to Edit > Dimension Text Settings... and you will get a dialog box. I am guessing that this will have the Autotext option selected (see image below). You will want to leave the bracketed part, just select and delete the text portion.

For the slab edge line:

The edge of slab material and the wall face material must be the same material, and the face of the edge of the slab and the wall must be in the same plane.

You could just shift select all the dimension texts and change them at the same time. Made easier now with quick select, so make sure you have that indented in your Info Box.

Will this work for all slabs that show their faces undesirably in section or elevation? This problem drive me nuts.

this will work very well indeed but most of the times we want the horizontal lines to disappear but still the vertical lines that show the thickness of the slab to remain there under the wall end. so what happens?
the perfect solution is to draw all the walls and slabs to the same story but this is not so easy so i think that some things have to be done with lines in a section elevation that is not an autorebuilt model but a drawing (after of course you ve finished with your floor plans

It shouldn't change the actual dimension, just the additional text.
