Is there a way to make only one line hidden in something created with Tube?

Like a complex profile, I would like to implement a hidden line by making only one line hidden and preventing other adjacent lines from appearing.

I would appreciate it if you could tell me how to implement other commands.

You mean one corner of the profile along the path of the tube?

If so it is the status code of the profile co-ordinates.

Oh, sorry.
I was talking about a section line.

No, you can't control individual lines of a section through a tube.

Is it possible to control anything else?
If so, I would appreciate it if you could let me know. ^^

With a tube you can control visibility of the start and end surfaces and lines and the lines along the extrusion.

I believe there is an variation (TUBE{2}) that can have holes in the profile (rather than a solid profile) as well as control individual surface materials.

 

But depending on what you are trying to do, maybe you don't want tube at all?
