3D View

3D View of a new project.
Can anyone explain what is going on in the 3D view and what settings I need to change ? Thanks

Two things come to mind:
1
A corrupted element.
View 3d layers one by one or by elements (slabs etc) until you can locate the corrupted element.
2
Drawing too far away from the origin. If you import from AutoCAD the drawing can be very far from origin - ArchiCAD does not cope with this when the distances are vast! Place all elements near ArchiCAD origin and see if that helps!

You have probably built a mesh for the roof or terrain and, eventually, one of the points is very much higher than the others.
