      So suddenly in my model, on all the 10+ Scenes I set up, most everything is hidden and I have to go into each of the groups and do a Unhide All to see them,

      for instance this is a simple elevation Scene I just exported a image from, now if I go back to that Scene, the posts, beams and rafters are Hidden, so what the heck? I didn't Hide anything.

        Did you update the scene after you unhid those items?

          Yeah of course but how did all those things in the different groups get hidden? I didn't open up each group and hide the things in it.

                Are you using Hide to make things invisible instead of using Layers?

                    Are these things actually 'hidden', or do they have some 'off' [aka 'hidden'] layer[s] assigned to them ?

                    To see if they are hidden use View > Hidden Geometry > ON...

                    Otherwise, check the layer settings...
                    Check which layers the vanishing objects might have assigned...

                    Obviously, SketchUp should not be deciding to make somethings 'hidden' [in either sense] in an unexpected way...
                    I'm sure we can find the culprit...
