Window Wall Contour Lines

I am trying to set up my 3D windows to look a certain way in plan view. I almost have what I am looking for, but the Window Wall Contour Lines are in the way. The image I attached shows the problem and where the settings are to adjust the lines which are the problem.

I tried changing the lines to white, but these Wall Contour Lines in the Window settings overlap the 3D wall lines. So, when those Wall Contour Lines are changed to white, there are little white lines showing over the exterior wall edge. Of course the lines are invisible when my eyes are looking off of the wall edge, but what I am wanting to know is if there is anyway of either removing these lines are by getting the wall lines somehow above the wall contour lines so those little white lines don't show up.

Hi toman311,

The answer is in your screenshot. You can turn the Wall Contour Lines off by clicking the Wall Contour lines header above the line and pen settings you have highlighted. See attached Image.

That option isn't available for my window that I am using apparently. I got the window out of the ArchiCAD 18 component folder too.

My screen shot doesn't show that option either, but yours does?

Have you clicked on this button in General Settings? It brings up the wall contour line options.

Mind blowing. It was there the whole time.

When I was messing with doors, I found it right away. Somehow I looked over it with windows.

Thanks though
