    Can you get any 3D to work? try drawing a square switch view and go to solid at the top and choose extrude and select the square with the chain ring logo and hit ok.

    If you have 3D in the other views you have 3D in ISO too. Just try rotating it a little bit manually.

    Can you share your file so we can see what you have done and how to fix it. I was wondering to about how you used the planes to build.
