3d graphic display

BrandoArch — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 20:12:57 GMT

I have graphics issues that I can find out why it is happening and how to correct it. It has occurred in the past but not often. It does not occur on every project. It makes working in 3d difficult and frustrating. When I zoom in for closer inspection, the modeling elements become cut and unreadable. This is well before I am so close that my perspective is entering the model elements.

I have looked into: driver is update, toggled hardware acceleration, toggled anti-aliasing, tried some alternate graphics card preferences, but maybe I missed something. Thanks

Operating system used: Windows Build 6000

Are you very far from the origin or have elements placed very far from each other? That's usually the issue here.

Every time it’s happened to me, it’s been because I was very far from the source.

I had looked into that. The origin point is on a corner of the building (typical). I have removed unnecessary modeling in space. Normally, I work in 3D with the mesh off. The mesh is approximately 3,554 ft from one corner to another. Will objects that are spread over larger distances affect this, even when their layer is off. Is so, would the size of this mesh be large enough to make this difference?

I have had much bigger meshes without any issues.

Check to see if your Perspective focus Distance is not a million miles away.

Does not seem to be the origin point or focus point, but the symptoms do seem to point to things of these natures. When I select "zoom to fit" I am zoomed very far out from the model. Suggestion appreciated.

I brought in the cut window and this seems to have a big difference. It did not seem to make any difference on graphic's issue when zooming close.

There is an element placed far away.Fit to zoom and select all to detect it.

Open all your layers .

Check all the stories.

That suggests that there is some element far away from your model.

That will affect your view as well even if the main model is close to the project origin.

Now you just need to find it and eliminate it.

Zoom to fit, select all and then unselect the min model, and see what you have selected.

Yes this has been my understanding, yet going through 3D and all views with all layers on, I have not found anything. This image I noticed a few of days ago with the 3D window. When doing a cut plane, the cut plane extends starts 2,000-3,000 ft away from visible modeling elements. This seems like this supports something out there, but I can not find anything. If I save the views with the cut windows brought in, things work better. I will have to stick with that.

The thing is the cutting plane may be cutting and hiding the far away elements.

Temporarily turn of the cutting planes to see what is out there.

In 3D, zoom to extents and select all.

Deselect what is close to the project origin and then zoom to selection.

That should find any elements not near the project origin.

Also be sure to check all renovation filters.

It could be something pinned to a reno status you wouldn't expect.

I had the same problem recently, and it was solved by deleting the roof , I guess it had a reference point far away or somthing.

Please try this on a copy: delete one roof after another and zoom again to find out which roof is causing the problem.

Best of luck!

This was the solution of at least a significant contributor to the problem. Thanks. I would not have thought of that.
