Question

parting lines; colors and extra surfaces.

In Creo2 mold design; this may be two different issues, but when you create your split models you end up with various color changes for what different things are (parting lines appear blue, etc). Can this be turned off?

Also, seeming related it creates extra surfaces on the model (that are color changed), but creates the illusion of extra geometry, and so far support says you have to manually delete these after creation. This is extremely annoying and time consuming.

Is there anyway to turn this off? How are other people dealing with these issues?

As far as the person that answered me this time, I opened this case this morning. So in that regard it was quick-ish. BUT why this could not be answered the previous times I asked, I don't know. Maybe multiple rewording of the question and supplying lots of pictures.
