Phantom intersection lines
-
In this case, in your model, it appears that edge is needed.
I often draw new faces over "indentations" in a model rather than moving the vertices. And I have seen the phantom effect. I often select the phantom and delete if I don't need it, especially if it forms internal faces in a model. -
That may also be the case however without the model again...

I just had a momentary power outage and lost login.
Gaieus, are you asking in a roundabout way that hellnbak upload his model?
My brain is a little fuzzy-- waiting for my morning coffee to kick in.Edit: and you may be contemplating an afternoon nap
-
Well, yes. he's had a bunch of topics already where a model would have made things much more clear.
ATM I am already over nap time and preparing to go pubtown.
-
Is pubtown the English word for Pecs?
-
Pardon me, I do not know what you are talking about. I generally drink mint tea (if available - if not, any other kind of alcoholic beverages)
-
Well, don't forget your sandals we you decide to go for a cup of tea!
@hellnbak
We'll leave this discussion alone now and I hope your mystery lines reveal their secret soon -
In my noobie efforts to fix the problem I screwed up the model so badly it's hardly recognizable anymore
Looks more like modern art now. I'm trying to recreate the problem. Will upload if I am successful. Thanks -
To illustrate what I was describing above, have a look at these images (2d export of a model of mine). I knew I was going to have these issues so I made my roof 5 cms (~2") thick which is probably too much theoretically (should be about half) but who cares, it is not visible anyway. You will see that when zoomed out, the beams of the roof structure bleed through the 5 cm thick roof.
Read the description of each shot under the images.

WIthout seeing the geometry I can't say, but I just had success with a similar issue when someone posted the technique for making edges invisible without erasing them:
—Find the inner edge that's bleeding through
—Open the group or component that contains it
—Select the Eraser tool
—While holding down the shift key, click on the line that bleeds throughYou still see any color or texture, but without the hard line that ends it, and the inner color does not bleed through.
Best,
Jim
