Distance to far from 0,0,0?

Kamelite — Tue, 09 May 2023 13:44:55 GMT

I have a model that is close to 500 meters from 0,0,0. And I can not see it in 3D-view. Is it a limit of distance, and if so, can it be adjusted?

This building is a part of a big project, and it is geographically correct in accordens to the rest f the buildngs...

To find out what was wrong, I drew a wall from 0,0 to my building. And when I moved along that wal in 3Dl, all of a sudden the geometry stopped, but the reference line went on....

Archicad doesn't like the model to be too far from the origin - but I wouldn't say 500m is very far at all.
Usually you start to see glitches in the 3D - not that it just disappears.

I am wondering if you maybe have a 3D cutting plane.
You can turn of the cutting planes or delete them completely.

Hello Kamelite,

The last time I have check how far from origin we can model with archicad, I have found about 80km.
With Archicad we should put our origin on a building or a parcel corner to be able to inquire GPS coordinations.
If you want to be able to export a referenced DWG you are able to do this through a worksheet and keep your model near from origin.

Thanks to both of you. Turning off the 3D Cutaway the trick!
