      might be a "style" thing. The default might be set on architectural design style. Just click on default or design style.

      If that isn't the solution - post a shot of the problem

        I think you're on it, Jim. At least one of the template choices includes endpoints.

          ... I turned off the show extensions option ...Is there a way to hide these lines without turning off edges?...

          You turned off extentions. Now you also need to turn off endpoints themselve.
          SU's mean menu Window > Styles > Edit > Edge Settings (first icon) > turn off endpoints.

            This is a basic 'Styles' issue...
            Open Menu > Window > Styles.
            Pick the Model Tab [small house icon].
            The current Style is shown.
            Edit it.
            Click the icon to edit Edge-Styles [1st?].
            Here you can choose many 'edge-options' - including not to have 'extensions', 'end-points', 'profiles' or even 'edges-at-all'...
            Save the settings.
            If you want to particular Style to kick in when you start a new SKP simply edit the Style in the Template SKP to be as you want - then every new SKP will start as you'd prefer...

              I don't really like thick profiles for instance but since newer SU versions do not display anything at curved surfaces with profiles off, I keep a 1 pixel profile. This does not have any effect on normally displayed edges but will give an outline to curved surfaces.

                I don't like those thick edges or other things like endpoints at least when I am modeling, either. I do find having Profiles on and set to 1 is good for rounded things. Here's the settings I use for the edges.

                  Displaying endpoints can be useful sometimes - just like hidden geometry - so I have a button for that in my custom toolbar, too. This way I can toggle it easily.
