Overpass API - Can I show multipolygons without showing single-node roles?

Question

I am trying to output a map of British Columbia's regional districts using the Overpass API. I tried the following code on overpass-turbo.eu, and got a bit of a messy map.

[out:json][timeout:90];
(
relation[admin_level=6](area:3600390867);
);
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

What I want to do is hide all of those single nodes that have roles in each of these relations, i.e., I want to see each multipolygon area depicted in yellow, but I want to hide the nodes that have "admin_centre" and "label" roles. I have not figured out a way to do this. Can anyone help?

This is closer. There's an Overpass Turbo map setting to not show the small areas as nodes, which gets even closer.

http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/XbB

[out:json][timeout:90];
(
relation[admin_level=6](area:3600390867);
);
out body;
way(r);
(._;>;);
out skel qt;
{{style:
area{
  color:#e99;
  width:2;
  opacity:0.8;
  fill-color:#c77;
  fill-opacity:0.3;
}
}}

The OSM data is output in a few pieces here. out body; emits the relation data. Then only the way members of the relations are retrieved by way(r); (as in the other answer). Then the nodes needed to draw those ways are retrieved by (._;>;);. The ways and nodes are then emitted in out skel qt;. Using out skel; doesn't emit tags, so the nodes and ways output in that line are only used to construct the relation geometries, they aren't also interpreted as features in their own right. I put the {{style::...}} directive in there to show it was possible to adjust the display, if you like the default colors, just delete that part.

rel[admin_level=6](area:3600390867);
way(r);
out geom;

Tip: to receive more answers add 'overpass' to the the tags list when asking a Q.

Except that looks even more hideous when depicted on overpass-turbo.eu, and none of the areas get coloured yellow.

Sorry I spoke. You clearly think you know best. You're on you own.
