I created a scn., used some blocks and minefields however, when I am start the game and play they all disappear from the map, they are there, if I move a unit and move into a hex with one of those I then 'see' them....am I missing a toolbar choice or selection?

There is a side awareness that needs to be address.
You'll need to toggle side awareness and then select each minefield/block, etc and cycle through (using Tab) to determine which side you want the items to see

Here is a screenshot to show how this works. In the scen editor:

- SideAwareness1.JPG (1.4 MiB) Viewed 548 times
You first need to select Toggle Awareness Overlay to display the on-map Side Awareness labels:
- A - show to Side A only
- B - show to Side B only
- AB - show to both Side A & Side B
- n/a - show to neither side (hidden to both sides, unless/until one side and/or the other becomes "aware")
You toggle through those choices by means of Map > Cycle Overlay Hex, else by means of the hotkey Tab.

Recon is a visual thing, so maybe, maybe not. There is much randomness involved. Occupying the hex is sure to establish side awareness, however.
