Please help me with this wall. As the picture show below, I need to building it in ArchiCAD. I don't know how to build a wall tilted in angle.

Those lines aren't rendering anomalies, they are floating in space not and not on the surface. They appear to be 3D lines drawn by the door objects.

My guess is that you did not trim the doors as you did the walls, or, if you did, that it didn't affect the lines. I don't how SEOs deal with lines as part of a target element. Surfaces (and of course lines etc.) will not work as operators.
Ooops, did not look properly ...

Yes, it does look like the doors are not cut. Will investigate.

This looks like an analytic shaded view to me. If it is, turn the contours to best. All the joints of the same materials should disappear.

Try OpenGL, although it does show the joints regardless of the contour settings.

What happens when you render?

Where can I find OpenGL?

I didn't trim the door. Should I also trim the door? I'll try that now.

I just trim the door, but the line still there. I know those line won't show up in the rendering. But my boss like 3D window view than the photo render. So I have to figure out the way to hide those lines. :cry:

The lines may not be affected by the trim operation. I haven't had a chance to check, but it may be that it only works on solids (not surface or linear elements).

You may need to try another door, modify the one you are using, or create a new one. The door looks simple enough that you could probably draw it with some slabs and save it as a library part.

In ArchiCAD 8.x ...

Do include your ArchiCAD version and OS in your signature, that way much more will be clear.

While you are cutting the wall by the roof, there is a checkbox saying "trim doors and windows" or something like that.

I see. I'll try that this following Moday! ^_____^

Is that mean I need to retrim the wall to make the line disappear?

Possibly; if you kept the roof it should not be a problem.
