      Exactly what the title says. I upgraded my Sketchup version to 7.1 and every time I switch to Hidden line view, the softened edges won't appear. The only Plugin currently installed in my system is Sketchy Physics.
      The problems can be seen on the shoulders, knees and abdomen of this model:

        Have you got 'Profiles' ticked to show in the Style?
        You can set profiles to be as thin as normal edges...
        Draw something behind it [like a grid of lines] and you should 'see' the forms obscuring it, even if they don't have edges showing...
        Switch 'on' View > Hidden Geometry and you should also see the smoothed edges...

          In SU 7 (maybe just 7.1) soft edges do not appear in the default styles either. Whenever I make some rounded corners and want something displayed, I turn on profiles (with 1 pixel) as TIG suggests.

            Nope. I usually turn it off since it greatly slows down my old PC. So I guess I'll just turn it on when exporting 2d images.
            Thanks for the suggestions!
