perspective view bug?

[Anonymous]

I was working in perspective view and I am not sure what I did but it seems like I broke it. haha

anyway i can either see a small upper portion of the house which is tipped on its side 90 degrees and if I try orbit or 3dfly it just goes white and the movements do not work.

p.s. my screenshots keyboard comand stopped working???? so I can not attach a picture.

Use Grab, or get SnapzPro if you take a lot of shots.

Your problem sounds familiar. I thought it was in a beta... it's in the hazy past...

The first thing to try is resetting your 3D viewpoint in the settings dialog. This is found in the view menu or with command(Apple) + option + F3 in the default work environment.

eastcoast413:

On the Mac (there are similar commands in Windows):

Hold down the shift key and click in the plan view of the Perspective Settings window to set the camera placement. Hold down the option key and click in the plan view of the Perspective Settings window to set the target placement. Then check the Camera Z height and Target Z height to make sure you are looking at the model, not into the heavens or down at your feet. The Z heights are measured from the Project zero, not the current story height. The settings in the Perspective Settings dialog box you posted show that the Distance from Camera to Target is 25/64", while the Camera is at 7'-7" and the Target is at 0, this is looking at your feet (if you are about 8' tall ).

copy and paste doesn't solve the problem; all the settings for the layouts are gone

mate - i think you might be in the wrong thread . . . consider re-posting where you first thought you were, or starting a new thread and elaborating on your problem . . .

hi there!

we are having the same problem at work: the camera crops the model if it is "too near" to it.

Here is a still of the problem. It appears to come up only in openGL, and, funny thing if I save the image in a file it shows up correctly

We are wasting a lot of time because of this, if anyone has a quick solution it would be very welcome!!
