Hi, I made an opening in my roof using a void solid and now I need to hide the lines that show up underneath the roof (at the void). I attached a PDF. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

A void is not a solid ....

There is no way for us to know what those lines are.  They could be where a solid edge is formed by a void cut but it isn't a void.

When you select an in-place void, its lines will show but only when selected.

I meant a "void extrusion" not solid. I just selected it so it would highlight where it was since in the attached PDF it's a little harder to see... but I can still see the lines when nothing is selected. Is there any way to get rid of those lines? They are part of the roof (where the void extrusion cut it).

If you can still see those lines, it is because a solid is being cut by the void and those edges are formed.  If the void sould not be cutting that solid, then fix that.

That's because your void is cutting at the inside face of your arched roof. What your are seeing is the lines where the hip roof is being cut. Make your void a little larger that the inside diameter of the arch roof and these lines will not be seen.
