Adobe after effects, camera and 3d layers glitch. Need serious help? :(

So my issue is that everytime i change my shape layers to 3d and add the camera, my whole composition becomes a completely blank screen.

Then as soon as i turn the 3d off it becomes clear and i can see my shapes.

Its really frustrating me as i need it to make animations for projects coming up.

Even my teacher was completely confused and said i should ask the forums.

I uninstalled and reinstalled after effects twice but same glitch.

Disable depth of field on your camera or change the focus distance to be where your layers are.

Is your composition set to use the ray-traced renderer or the classic renderer?

What are your system specs?

What, exact, version number of AE are you using? (That is to say, not "CS6", but "11.0.4" or something similar.)

Your shape layers are visible when you turn them 3d until you add the camera, right? I'm guessing the camera isn't pointing at your shape layers.

Is your comp window set to "Active Camera"?

Show us screenshots and provide proper system and version information as well as the relavant info on comp settings etc..
