Quartus not synthesizing logic elements

Hello all, 

 

So I've been trying to estimate how much space a design will take on my FPGA, and it keeps on telling me it compiles/synthesizes with zero logic elements. I made sure the top level entity has inputs and outputs, and I even redid my design so it uses the switches for one of the inputs, and outputs to LED lights, but it still seems to be ripping out all my logic. I have simulated it in modelsim and it behaves as expected, with my output varying as I force the switches to different values. Any thoughts?  

 

My Code is below, where the lower 9 switches are acting as one of my inputs, the uppermost one is acting as my "clock", controlling my flip flops basically flipping between two sets of data. I made one part controlled by the bottom most switches so the synthesizer didn't figure out the output was just varying between two values, but it still goes to 0 logic elements. 

 

Appreciate the help
