Hiding Triangulated surfaces on Mesh

Hello,

If I inserted .txt file through 'Direct import surveyers data' tool, it is directly converted into the Archicad Mesh having Triangulated surfaces.
Now I want to hide these so that I can see actual specific contour lines.
When I change the option present in 'Floor plan and section' tab of mesh,
only black nodes are visible.

Is there any solution for this?

Regards

Thank you very much Vistasp.

Attaching image what I got from Contour Marker.

Only problem is Actual contours in Dwg file (orange color) are smooth curves and from Contour Marker (Blue color) are somewhat angular shape.

Check your Magic wand settings if they are used to trace curves

This mesh is created with 'Contour Maker' and in this Contours are detected from input levels , option present in its dialog box , so is there any relation with Magic Wand?
Magic Wand was set to default.

Thanks & Regards,
