    If you want to draw construction lines that don't contribute to open/closed profiles, you can press "q" on your keyboard or press "Alt + c" and type "construction" to find where it is in your toolbar. You must be in the sketch environment for these to show. If you want to show a previously hidden sketch, click the eye icon to the side of it.

    In 3D modeling, the feature sketches will not contain hidden lines. Construction lines can be used as references to create geometry, you can also project existing model edges as references.
