I was kind of hoping Graphisoft would get their act together and allow us to eliminate the interior lines - this tool still behaves like something out of 1996. Is there a way to turn off those lines?

I'd like a smooth barrel vault which displays like an ArchiCAD curved wall - ie. its not rendered like a bunch of segments.
It should be sooooo easy for GS to fix this longstanding LAME implementation.
Please GS...

1) use very small segments (magic wand settings)
2) set the internal segments to a white pen.
3) set the outer most segments to a printing pen
4) use a ring-like part from the basic shapes in the Library for the facia.
This way it is possible to get something that looks OK in plan and section/3d
Total hack........
Lots of people will tell you that SEO's are the way to go but then you never get it right in plan.

Draw a curved wall. Save as a GDL object, carefully selecting your viewpoint so that it is created from a "plan view" of the future roof.
Place object. It will be nice and stretchy and take maybe 30 sec. to create, once you understand the process.
