I can't find my 3d perspective - its out of view.

Anonymous — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 22:46:41 GMT

I know it will be a simple thing - but somehow my 3d perspective is out of view and as much as I reconfigure camera angles and distances, I can't get it back.

I am scrolling around the screen desperately but I have probably thrown it further into the distance now.

Is there a simple 'Fit in Screen' button for these? Or something that can get it back.

The axon view is fine.

Much appreciated.

Try the "soccer ball" at the bottom.
Roll over it, it will say "fit in window".

Thanks Bier.

I have already tried that. No luck.

I have also mucked about with the projection settings but I still get a blank screen. It must be so far out of view..

It is definitely there because if I highlight the entire drawing (with the arrow key) then I can see it. But interestingly enough if I select the drawing with a marquee then it doesn't work.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

So you can select your model elements but not see them? Try a search of the forum (the button between FAQ and Memberlist above, NOT the top search button), this has been brought up a few times.

I was going to suggest placing a new camera, selecting camera and going to 3D view, but this sounds like a different issue.

Just an update -

I zoomed out to a distance of 99999999 (or whatever was the largest number I could fit), then selected all, then hit 'Fit in Screen' and managed to bring up some of the elements. But not all - was stll missing a second level even though it showed up in plan view.

Anyway it was enough to keep me going. I just had to rebuild the second level which was quicker than trying to figure out the problem.

I did try to put a new camera in but this made no difference. Interestingly I still couldn't see the original camera of the 'v' shape the view makes - thats how far out the model was.

Anyway thanks for all your hep. Much appreciated.

could you take a screenshot of your camera settings?

I had a simular problem and i was able to solve it buy using; "Get Current Window’s Settings: Click this button to overwrite the settings in this dialog box to correspond to the view currently in effect in the active (frontmost) window." I had a previous 3d perspective view saved that displayed the model correctly. I opened that view and went to "settings" when i clicked on "Get Current Window's Settings" it reset my Generic Perspective view to match the view i had opened.
I hope this helps

I am having the same problem now. If you have any information on how to fix the problem it would be greatly appreciated.

Place a camera and open it to regain the perspective settings.

(almost caused me heart failure!)
