Hello every body.
i am working with a project such as landscape and volume. yesterday i got a problem with my 3d view. the problem is that i can not open my file in perspective window, but i can open it in axonometry.
and it's a little annoying. could someone help me with the problem. i don'not have a clue that what is wrong.

thank you a lot for helping and sorry for my english

It might be that in your perspective view you are looking in the wrong direction. Check your 3d perspective settings.

Very odd
I've been getting the same problem in the past couple of days.
Without changing project or anything else obvious (to me) perspective has just stopped 'working'. It was working fine before in the same project and axo is still ok - but no perspective. The first thing i tried was fit to window and it is still not there. Ditto 'home zoom'.
Any ideas?

ps ...

no filters on
I also tried rebuild
earlier 'save as' version of the same project works fine in the 3D window

so my 'solution'

place a camera directly in front of the building
double click camera in navigator to go to 3D view
for whatever reason the model is only partially displayed (not by element type or anything else seemingly rational)
switch view from perspective to axonometric and the whole model appears
switch back to perspective and all seems 'ok'

Is this a corrupt file or am I missing something?

This looks like the bug described here:

Hi David, I'm having the same problem as Amonle.

I tried zoom fit to window etc. then selecting the entire window to delete any "bogus" walls or objects, but nothing is selected - not even a tiny model. My 3D perspective view is totally blank, while my axon view is fine. The correct layers are on, I even tried doing hidden line, wire frame, internal engine vs OpenGL. It seems to have disappeared in this view, it's really frustrating!

Any ideas?
Thanks,

-Heather

Yes, placing the camera on the floor plan helps.

Heather:

When placing the camera, check the Target Z (height) and Camera Z (height), they are measured from Project Zero, not the current story level, so you are sure you are looking at the model, not above or below it.
