Hi
indeed something is messed up in your "Definition - View 1" Create a new one and delete View 1, for me it works thereafter (I did also a clear solution, clear mesh and reset but that was NOT enough ;)

Good luck

I figured out what is happening. The view wasn't broken or anything. But if you 'hide' domains while viewing your geometry, then any 2D or 3D plots you make later will hide the solutions in these regions. Your 'delete and reform' solution worked because a new view by default doesn't hide any objects. My old solution of creating new elements or changing their order worked because when you create anew object often all of them get renumbered and what was in the hidden list can change.
I don't know if this behavior is intended, but given how often things need to be hidden when working with 3D geometries, its bound to be confusing for new users.

Hi
Yes I noticed the "hidden" node, but even after deleting it + refresh + update screen, I could not get all items on the screen, only after generating a new View I found all items back. So I ssupect there was something more.
when making "hidden views" I always make a new one, so the default view is a full view, as it changes at all times, all new plot are linked to it. Have you noticed that all main plot views are attached to a view, mostly via "automatic", but you can also manually tell COMSOL to use different views, i.e. have top, front and side views defined.
