Stop cosmetic sketches from "shining through" in shaded mode

Stop cosmetic sketches from "shining through" in shaded mode

Stop cosmetic sketches from "shining through" in shaded mode

(OP)
Am I the only one that can't figure out how to stop cosmetic sketches (hatched areas, etc) from shining through the shaded model?

I tend to use hatched cosmetic sketches for defining KEEPIN and KEEPOUT areas, but can't stand when those sketches are visible on the "outside" of an assembly.

Any ideas?

They tend to do that.  You can hide them, blank them on layer, or create a real extrusion (cut or extrusion) with a small depth, say, .01inch.
