But when viewed from an interior elevation, the black edges are still there and they look really ugly. I don't know how to remove them.

Is there a way to remove these lines? I know there's some way to do it by converting to a morph and then making the lines soft and then pick "show contours" and then make all other lines white. But that's a very lengthy process that i have to do for each element (i have houndreds), and i want to keep them as beams like they are now so i can change them later.

Are these non-native objects? The tapware and the basin look like they are from SketchUp.

And yes, the tap is imported from rhino. If you know how i can remove the polygon net around it then that would be appreciated!

Straight from Rhino or via Grasshopper? I have no experience with this so that might be a question over on the Grasshopper sub.

Regarding the rhino object - it's just a regular object that has been added to my embedded object library. So there's no rhino-archicad grasshopper connection or anything like that, i just simply made my own object library and used them in the model.

Did you use the BIM6x converter?

It will convert a Revit RFA object into a GDL object.
It won't create fully parametric objects, but you can change pen colours and materials.
I have only used it a couple of times but so far so good.

So i have this complex profile, with a curved edge:.....
Complex profiles are typically useless to me because I find the curves and smoothness of them to be unacceptable. I can usually find a way to avoid them. You can model that with super smooth curves as individual objects such as a Molding and Slab, as a Morph, and save the whole thing as an Object and all of those can be as smooth as you want them to be - and you can do it with ArchiCAD. You never need to settle for bad complex profile curves - and you do not need to see all of those lines in an Elevation view of it either.
And this is how it should look in an Elevation or Section view
