Hello, I have random lines on my part and don't know how to hide them. These lines are the exact ones that show when saving an STL file. Does someone know how I can get rid of them?

Is it a facet type model where the curves have been converted to small flats (like stl) or triangles? If it is, those are actual physical “edges”, so display isn’t wrong.

If you output a STL file and now see weird stuff, perhaps you just need to repaint:

The input is missing details. Can you attach how it looks? Process of generating the CAD? those details will help the others to understand and get a better solution to your problem.
