Hi @Anonymous,
Hope you are well! 
I created a Screencast for you which pretty much shows what you are dealing with and which answers all of your questions and which shows you how to assign center lines to your round ducting and fittings. Also, how and where you can set your hidden lines (various options) and how your view discipline settings effect what you see.
I think, by looking at your image, your working on the coordination view discipline, your hidden lines won't display, unless if you follow a couple of things which I did. You also need to work on your mechanical view discipline to have better control over your hidden and center lines. Your round ducting to the right has an element or filter transparency override associated to it, you can simply clear the overrides.
I hope this helps!
