3D perspective

Anonymous — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 01:42:50 GMT

When i go to my 3D Perspective it wont show anything, there is nothing to see, though when i go to 3D Axonometry it shows the view, even if i ring the model an it F5 it just shows it in Axonometry.

I want to import the 3D model into Artlantis but says the model needs to be saved in Perspective, i can save the file but there is no model to see.

anyone else get this problem, and a solution how to fix it.

O btw using ArchiCAD 12.

~~Cheers

Try the Zoom Extents button when in perspective, or check your 3D projection settings and see where your camera and target are (including their heights relative to your model)

You can also use the Camera Tool to place a Camera in plan so you are sure that you are looking at (not away from) the model. Select the placed Camera before opening the 3D Window.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Thanks for your help, but those tips didn't seem to work out, however oddly enough the Perspective in the 'Project map' as still working, just in the 'View map' it wasn't working even after we tried to play around with the '3D projection settings' as S2art said.

I even tried the Camera way you suggested but wasn't working, then I we just figured maybe the link was broken between the Project map and View map (had the same problem with Hotlinks), so just dragged a new copy over an it seemed to work.

Thank you for your help.

Do you have a Floor Plan Cutting Plane set up that is cutting away your model?

No, there are no cutting planes set up.

1. Hard marquee (all floors) a selection around the model.
2. Click the "arrow tool" and now select a preset camera, while leaving marquee in place around the model.
3. Hit F5 for a projection of the selection.
4. You'll still have a blank window. Now hit the "fit in window" button (lower left hand of screen) of the view. The perspective should be visible.
5. Save the view into Artlantis.

I think this was a bug in 11 or it may be a bugged part. Hopeful this helps, even though not a solution.

Ok having the same problem again an this time the solution just to create a new view off from the project map into the view map isnt working as now the whole perspective is gone in project an view map, even the axo cant be seen.

Any solutions?

You could check ctrl-shft-F3 which opens the Perspective Settings dialog. Then check your View Cone settings and set it from 90° to 110°. And if that's it you might have to move the view cone in the preview screen in that dialog box (the sun and the view cone are interactive in that screen and you can move them) so the project is in the cone. I remember earlier AC versions sometimes wouldn't center on the project even if you did the center on command until the view cone was moved in the preview screen.

That didn't work, is there a way to delete the perspective an recreate one from the project map? hoping that it will just fix itself when creating a new one.

Try to switch 3d from openGL to internal engine - if its appearing - then You have a problem with Your graphic-hardware..or driver software..

The thing is its not just my PC, its like unique to the Job file, this happens to a few of our projects where the 3D perspective disappears, but the Axo is still there.

Also how do I switch from openGL to internal engine? << Nevermind found it in View > 3D view Mode > 3D Window Settings
