Drawing does not show Surfaces, only Solid Bodies

Drawing does not show Surfaces, only Solid Bodies

Hello all,

I'm encountering a problem when trying to make a drawing from a part that consists of solid bodies and surface bodies.  In each view in my drawing, only the solid bodies appear.  As I move my mouse across each drawing view, the edges of the hidden surfaces become highlighted, but right clicking them and selecting "Show Edge" does nothing.  

This particular model is simply for the sake of design, and does not require being modeled as a complete solid.  I have used lofted surfaces in the model, as their solid counterparts refuse to build properly.  

Would anyone happen to have any suggestions as to a possible solution for this?  Thanks in advance!

GO to Insert > Model items > (unselect everything else except) Select view & select Surfaces under Reference Geomtry & press ok.
