window cut line pen with graphic override

Hello all,

I have applied a graphic override to windows but I don't want the override to apply to the window opening reveal lines, which now appear on top of the wall cut line - please see attached image. You can see in the image without the override, the window opening reveal lines are as the wall cut line (or unseen).

Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong or not seeing?

Graphic overrides will change all of the element (window), so if the window includes the side lines, then they will change as well.
Does the window object have an option to turn these lines off?
Dose the display order (forward/backward) have any effect?

I don't use the default windows and don't have Archicad in front of me to check.

Thanks for your reply Barry.
Yes, my goal, if possible, is to see if I can isolate this cut line within the override. Or, more simply, as you have said, to turn it off.

It is not possible to change the display order of a placed window or a door.
