Wrong edge sight

[MK_5990081]

Hello,

i have a problem.

In my drawing, a component that I added as a STEP file from an external source is displayed with all of its edges. This error only occurs with the parts that I add externally. How can I set that only the visible edges are displayed for these components? Attached you will find a picture.

Thanks!

Your step file is coming in as a surface model instead of a solid model.

If this view is a x-section, you will need to follow the solution in this post https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Linestyle-Issue-with-step-files-in-section-view-of-drawings/m-p/60610
