How can I edit the GDL object is not to show all vertices in view or section?

In the wire frame view, you can't. In other views (Open GL or Hidden line) you can depending on how the object in question is scripted. Which object do you want to revise?

I think this object is not a GDL boject from the ArchiCAD Library. Rather, it was imported from a 3DS, DWG or SketchUp file, hence the triangulation.

You could convert the object to a Morph, set the edges you don't want to see to Hidden for the Morph, then resave it as a GDL Object. That could get you closer to the state you want it to be in.

Thanks Erich and laszlonagy the answers. I imported a file from Revit. The converted objects for ArchiCAD GDL. When you convert a GDL Morph object to the file is heavy, with many vertices. No way to lighten Morph without spoiling the objects (warp)?

You can try:
1. Suspend Groups
2. Select part of Morph that is "heavy"
3. Modify Segmentation... > Fewer Segments
This will decrease the number of faces, but also make the form rougher.

If You finish Morphing, I would suggest save thee result back to object, as the objects are much faster than the Morphs in general.
