Is it possible to smooth out the transition between the cirular oblique walls on adjacent floors

Good time of the day, gentlemen

 

Might I ask you please, whether it's possible to smooth out the transiton lines between the circular oblique walls on the adjacent floors. In my particular case, I have a tower in the shape of the truncated cone. Its walls have to be devided by the floors, because it has doors on each of them. Apart from that different section of that tower must have other wall types on each floor. Various sections of it are represented with the fire resistant walls on each floor. Geometricaly, however, the side surface of the tower is smoth and doesn't have any steps. Each truncated cone on each floor has the same base radius as the top radious of the truncated cone on the previous floor, and they all have the same angle of inclination. That's what it looks like:

The same lines are visible on the elevation views:

Those lines also get plotted.

Could you tell me please, whether it would be possible to smooth them the BIM way, and if so, how to do that

You know, that's actually a very nice idea actually! Thank you very much! I've comprehended what you meant just now. Although, @Lingwisyer says that SEOs are affecting the performace, there are probably not that many of them to slow it significantly down

It's former, and it probably wouldn't need to be represented in 3D. The only concern is that it probably might need to be dipsplayed in the schedules. But anyway, I think that @Ignacio Azpiazu 's idea is very nice. It probably won't slow down the process much, cause I don't have too many of the SEOs in the project. I din't understand what SEO meant first

But thank you all, gentlemen!

@Barry Kelly , @Ignacio Azpiazu , @Lingwisyer  thank you all, gentlemen! All the suggestions are great! I found @Ignacio Azpiazu 's idea to use SEO especially great!

The only problem with SEO, is it won't show on floor plan.

You are only SEOing like 1mm off the outside face of the wall, so there is not much to show...

That's true, but in my case I think it's even better that way!
