This issue has been verified using Visual Studio 17.11.0 Preview 3.0(8.0.70). Can repro it. If you add the .csproj of main project to solution, then all projects are visible.

It was intentionally removed in (approx) November, though I have no idea why. You just need to manually add it back in the csproj...

1. Right-click the Solution
2. Select Add -> Existing Project
3. Find your current project and add the .csproj of main project, which is missing from solution.

Seems this was either resolved with the suggestions here, if not, please report through the instructions of the bot. This is something in Visual Studio and unfortunately not something we can fix on our side.
