Terrain Modelling Issue

[Anonymous]

Hey guys,
While I was working with the mesh tool in order to create terrain differences on my site (Archicad 22), after adding the height values I got a sort of wireframe pattern which looks hideous, and it takes the attention off the model itself.
I have seen some videos on youtube that both have and don't have this wireframe even though they use the same software version.
Is there a way to get rid of this , and if so, please keep in mind that I am a rookie at archicad so a more detailed elaboration would be appreciated. Cheers!
(If needed, i can provide images)

I'm working in 19, but I know this applies to 21 as well. I assume it does in 22.

Posting images is always helpful.
As they say "a picture paints a thousand words".

You can show all ridges (you will see triangulation) or just the user defined ridges (contours).
You can also make them sharp or smooth in 3D.
Try playing with these settings.

Kenan,
Please do not post the same thing multiple time - there is no need.
