How do I hide section lines on print layouts?

I'm sure its a simple button click or setting but I cant find it to save my life.  I want to turn off the section lines so it shows the marker only, see image to see how my floor plan prints out showing the section lines I want to hide on the print

I see the two vertical lines are for tiling and the second horizontal is for dimension only the first horizontal line maybe for section so you can eliminate from displaying by non-checking the boxes for segmented line :

If those are from your building sections, I would just turn off their layer in your interior layouts combination.

Set the section line to be 'Segmented' rather than 'Continuous' in the settings.

Then set the segment line length to 0 (zero).

thank you, that seemed to do the trick.  I dont recall ever having to do this in the past and thought there was some setting that worked like a filter that would turn the lines off in print layouts but I guess I dreamed that up

The 'range' lines (sides and rear extent) can be turned on/off with an 'On Screen Display Option'.

But those lines won't print anyway, even if you do leave them on.

 

Elevation markers don't have the lines like the section markers do.

They just have the marker, either single in the centre or one at each end (that can be individually turned on/off).
