Stretch Marks
-
I have been running into this for a while and it is very time consuming to fix. After I have applied skin to a terrain the skin is fine for a while. After I move to another area of the model and work then come back to that skin it has developed stretch marks. Sometimes they show up after I have closed and then reopen the model. Most of them can be erased but it takes too much time. I can remove most them by softening as well. Why does this happen and how can I prevent it?

It's difficult to see in that image, a model or a part of it would help us to identify the problem...
-
I know there's a joke here somewhere...
Are the edges new or simply softened edges that have somehow become hard (a problem that has arisen before)?
-
I've noticed this behaviour for several years. It's very erratic and hard to reproduce, but seems to be connected to leaving a group or component selected for several minutes...like if you select something from one file to copy into another. Sometimes, when you return to the original file, the object has partially unsoftened.
This might not be the reason here...but it does happen; and is presumably a bug. I guess I should have reported it before now.

Not sure how to show the model. The area was not softened. It was just a relative flat skin to begin with. The edges just showed up. Here's another view.

How do you deal with it? -
Did you try to soften them with the Soften Edged window? In your first post you've wrote that you delete some of the lines, so they weren't part of the landscape?
-
I can remove the majority of them with softening or erasing. In the picture, I have not softened or deleted any lines.
