By grey lines, are you referring to the unit cell rendering, i.e. the
"box" delimiting the cell? That can be disabled via "View->Display
Unit Cell Axes". Or would you like the ability to display a supercell
without each individual unit cell being drawn?

It seems to me that it would be more useful for the students to see
the individual unit cells to emphasize the periodicity of the system.
But if I remember the glwidget code well enough, it would be easy to
add an option to remove the individual cell lines. I will look into
this.

I agree. I will be merging the super cell builder and unit cell
extensions into the crystallography extension soon.

I will try to get one pushed out today.
