Open GL looking really messed up!

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2023 16:15:19 GMT

We're working on a project in AC 10.0 and "suddenly" one of the teammates noticed something was seriously messed up when working in 3D Open GL perspective view (see images)..

Sees like a madman has attacked all surfaces with a pair of scissors or something.

After send and recieve the whole project team has this problem when exploring the model in Open GL (perspective).

Axonometry and photorender is not affected though..

Any idea on whats causing this? I've experimented with any 3D/open GL setting i could think of without any result.

i've also tried not loading the project library (with all our custom textures etc) but still no good..

Try a smaller window size.

After doing some searching in here i've concluded the problem is the "Evil Chopping Block of Invisibility".

The symptoms match 100%... (altough I get rid of the problem when turning of our inner-wall-layer).

Copying the entire project into a blank file isn't really an alternative for us though as we're talking a large scale-complex-teamwork-project.

Are there really no other solution to this extremly annoying problem?

I think your problem might be solved with the latest hotfix (build 1176)...I just noticed it was made available today.

ID# 53932 - 3D: An invisible plane cuts the 3D model in perspective OpenGL mode
