Pretty self explanatory, there is something wrong with my scene editor. No matter what I do, the scene editor is always blank (except for the things that are always there like the grid and gray backdrop etc.). When I add assets, the gizmos show up but the actual assets themselves dont show up. I dont know what is wrong but i am stuck until it is fixed. I have tried making a new scene, making a new project, and then i completely reinstalled unity 3.3 but the problem is still there. ANY help is appreciated. Thanks!
I haven’t run into this problem myself, but it seems ‘layers’ tend to be mentioned when it comes up 
Anyway, you might check the ‘Layers’ drop-down menu and see what the current settings are.
What OS are you using? Did you try adding an object at 0,0,0 and then pressing the “F” key? (Just a wild guess, but I’m thinking that your camera may be way off in space.) Post a screenshot or two, that usually helps folks identify the problem.
The default layer is turned off in the scene view. Turn it back on.
Ok I reinstalled Unity a few times and now its working so problem solved. Thank you to everyone who helped me!
