No comment: what the hell is that?! > **[antialiasing](https://ibb.co/SBj2dQJ)** > > Image antialiasing hosted in ImgBB Note that the component in question has NO white edges. Anyway in this current style both the edges and the profiles are hidden.16× antialiasing somewhat diminishes the artifact but doesn’t make it disappear at all. Use 4K display, Windows 10 64 bit, Sketchup Pro 2020. Any ideas or workaround suggestions? Thanks! ---

Looks to me as if you are seeing the back faces. Your graphics card is showing them. Change the back face color to something dark to reduce or eliminate it. ![Screenshot - 8_19_2020 , 8_35_31 AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/4/2/42bd847e96aae19a5284671ba8b297f0467a2187.png) ![Screenshot - 8_19_2020 , 8_36_12 AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/2/8/28c77770932f91ffb198a2e2a80e7540359bc605.png) . ---

No, unfortunately it doesn’t help. Once showing edges is disabled no other style settings change this behaviour. Well, there is one though. Making edges disabled but profiles enabled the result is even more weird: ![profiles](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/2/7/27dd6842cb2cd6740c82a90853427f975a93b46a.jpeg) ---

I wasn’t asking for the style. I asked for the model file. ---

Those pulls are strange and for as simple as they are, there shouldn’t be anything weird about them. They ought to be solid components but they aren’t. The component container is painted magenta. ![Screenshot - 8_19_2020 , 4_36_27 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/5/8/589d1b21fbcb714dce4a71485a28e2d249e77bf7.png) And the entities inside are painted with different materials as evidenced by the question mark in the Materials swatch in Entity Info when all the geometry is selected. ![Screenshot - 8_19_2020 , 4_36_44 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/c/2/c23ec39e8556373f553d2a909048011b4569ac27.png) You’ve applied a white material to the back faces in the component. The lower swatch in Entity Info shows that. ![Screenshot - 8_19_2020 , 4_45_12 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/3/c/3cf3764d397855ab32ecdccba13ac423d8faa2a5.png) It is that white color your graphics card is allowing to bleed through. After replacing the white material with the default material and setting the back face color to a black, your white lines no longer show. They actually don’t show as much with the default back face color. ![Screenshot - 8_19_2020 , 4_49_14 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/b/1/b1b511d2c4c6d10e1f7ca8f1eb1e949051b95a47.png) Where did you get the light components? Those seem kind of strange, loaded with a huge number of sub-components. They look like they came in from Solidworks or something. ![Screenshot - 8_19_2020 , 5_01_10 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/5/6/5672d2c4a040f39b48020a7b7dddbc59726913d3.png) Here is the cleaned up file.

Yes, it is, at least a bit older version. 🙂
