Segment lines in element after publishing

Hi, I've drawn an object with curved parts from the library. While working in facades its looks good but after publishing it to PDF using the publising set, it creates lines in de curves. How do you hide those lines? Or change colour or whatever. I tried to make the resolution from 24 (standard) to 300 and then the lines seem to have dissapeard but it's just full with lines that cover the whole curve fill. In the image a view of the PDF (left) and the archicad venster (right) which is how i want the facade to look like.

The lines you see in the export are in fact small gaps between different fills/textures.  It is actually the background (white).

Depending on which pdf viewer you use, they are more or just less visible. The view in acrobat (right) is better than that of the default viewer in finder.

Because of the curved shape, there is a lot of geometry and therefore a lot of narrow openings or lines.
A workaround could be to put a full fill with the colour of the panel behind the planes.

Thank you so much, it is indeed the solution to get a normal facade drawing published!
