thank you for replying, but the code had changed since then.
should I post the update? I already changed it to merge,
and those lines (not the gems) still appear.
if you want to remove the gems, just comment all: object {BigGem? / Gem??
translate <...>}
under WindowGlass, or just change from object {WindowGlass .....} to:

object {RawMaterial scale <0.5,0.5,0.25> translate <-5.25,-6.0,Size>}
