Welcome aboard!

For the rectangle and ellipse tools, draw one and check the stroke and fill settings.
There is an indicator line at the bottom, which may say the object's opacity is at 0%,
or the fill colour has an alpha value of 0 -grey checkerboard pattern next to a colour
or there is no set fill and stroke colour.
Open the fill and stroke panel (Shift+Ctrl+F) and set something visible.

With the ellipse tool you may switched from a full circle to a small angle arc too, check it at the tool's settings.

With the 3D box tools hmm what could possibly go wrong.
I have no idea yet.
