Try turning off "remove dead copper," see what you get. Dead copper is any polygon copper that has not connected to already-existing primitives, say a pad or via, assigned to the polygon net. If no such primitives exist, dead copper will be removed for the entire polygon, it is all "dead." While "areas" of isolation can create dead copper, dead copper is the default condition if there are no places for the polygon to pick up its net. There may be other possible causes, such as a very high setting for grid and/or fill track width. Normally, grid should be set to 0. Contrary to what one might guess, zero grid means that grid is ignored and track is spaced with maximum efficiency for total fill. If you turn off "remove dead copper" in the polygon dialog and your polygon appears, then the problem is the lack of a seed primitive. If this does not fix the problem, it is from another source.
