Open GL clipping plane?

Anonymous
Not applicable
I dont know how this started to happen, but somehow, while flying around my model using Open GL, I have a nearfeild clipping plane cutting away like a sphere around the camera. As I get near the model (about 20 feet or so) the clipping plane (sphere?) cuts the model and I see inside sort of, but it doesn't look like a feature as much as it does an error. I have looked at all my settings and can't seem to get it to disappear. Any ideas on what this could be? If I open a new file, I dont have this problem, so it would appear to be a setting of some sort. I have no cutaways defined and I have checked all setting related to open GL options and 3d Window settings. Nothing jumps out as a solution.

Do you have the latest "build" of Archicad? Check for updates.

Once a file has it, the quikfix is to merge the data into a new project.

Nice one Nando. This might be the problem. I have a plan to respresent the ocean and its huge! I probably need to scale it down a bit.

Thanks
