Can't see anything at 3D View

[Anonymous]

Hello Friends,
I am experiencing issue with my 3D view.
I am working on this project for more than a month. From yesterday I am having a problem with the 3D view. Nothing is shown in 3D. I performed the primary checking, for example.
1. I checked all layers. They are on. (see Fig-1)
2. Also checked the 3D filter. (See Fig-2)
3. Clicked in the fit to window.

But no way it's getting right. Can you please suggest to solve the issue.

Dear Lastly
Have u got time to check the file? It would be really helpful if you can make some time

I had a look at the file and it seems to me you have something a very, very long distance from the origin.
Exactly what it is I haven't had time to explore and find out.

But if you place an all storey marquee around your plan and then view that in 3D you will see the model.
However if you remove the marquee and view all in 3D and zoom to extents, it will zoom so far out it does not respond.

There is something very far away on storey 0 and/or storey 1.
View those in plan and "fit to window" and you will see it zooms very far out.
Al the other storeys seem OK.

Sorry but that is all the time I have to investigate at the moment.

Dear Barry
What you done within ur time frame I am really grateful for that.
It's true y model have distance from the origin. But this distance is not so big. It's only 915'. This distance should not be an issue.
I already tried it using all floor marquee. That's not working. I planned to select all and moved them towards the origin. But the plan failed.

Avi,

I have not looked at the file after I saw that Barry already answered your question.
You should follow his instructions and find that element that causes Archicad to zoom way out when you show all elements.

Avi,
This is what I see on ground floor with 'fit to window'.
It zooms so far out that you can't do or select anything.


Move up to the 1st floor and fit to window and the plan shows up fine.


I have narrowed it down to something in your 'Text and Labelling' layer in the '0.GL' storey.
And the 'Beams' layer in '1. Ground Level' storey.
Turn those of and the plans display OK.

So does the 3D, but you may need to change to axonometric view then fit in window.
When in prespective view the fit in window does not always work.


How you are going to figure out what the problem is I am not sure.


Barry.

OK I seem to have it working.
This is what I did.
Go to storey 2 in plan and fit to window - all should be good.
Now change to storey 0 and turn all layers off except the text & labelling layer.
Do not zoom yet - but CTRL+A to select all and then remove the text and labels that you can see on screen.
This should leave a few still selected that are way off in the distance - delete them.

Now go to the storey 1 and turn of the text and label layer and turn on the beams layer.
Do the same thing - select all and remove those beams you see from the selection.
This will leave some beams still selected that are far away - don't zoom just delete them.

Now you can turn all your layers on and view in 3D.
Fit to window - if that doesn't work change to axonometric view and fit to window.

Barry.
