Extruded Solid from curve has unwanted lines on surface. Causing problems with sheet metal fabrication

I am using rhino to make flat laser cut sheet metal parts. For that I need a .dxf or .dwg for the lasers CAM software. The problem I have is that Rhino is making extra lines in my solids.

I started with a closed curved -> Solid- Extrude Planar Curve - Straight.

I tried:

Command: MergeAllFaces
Merged 0 polysurfaces. 1 polysurface could not be merged further.

Of course I can manually delete the curves in the .dxf but I want to remove the burden and chance for human error.

Hello - these are isocurves and should make no difference - the input curves for this object are probably all you need for the laser cutter. You can turn off isocurve display in the object’s Properties.

Thank you Pascal!

This really helped, that was exactly the problem. When I disabled the Isocurves they no longer exported with the .dxf or .dwg.

This was very helpful!
