        Are you referring to Back Edges? If so, they don't appear in Vector rendered viewports in LayOut because they are a raster thing and Raster line work is not displayed in with Vector or Hybrid rendering. You can leave the viewport set to Raster render and see the back edges. A better way to show them or to show hidden features in LayOut with Vector rendering is to use a suitable style and select a dash style for the tag. With Stacked viewports this is dead simple and gives you better control over what hidden lines are shown and which are not. You have no control over that with the Back Edges face style.

        Example:
