Render Safe Frame
Turn on this 3D view feature at Document > Creative Imaging > Render Safe Frame.
This is an ARCHICAD mode that affects the 3D window; it displays a frame that indicates which part of the model will be rendered.
This might not be obvious, because the output is affected by the Size setting in Render Settings. Depending on the Size settings, your model could be cut off in the render.
See Set Size.
The Render Safe Frame gives you feedback on this and a chance to adjust the Size parameters.
Note: The Render Safe Frame setting to OFF corresponds to Rendering Settings from ARCHICAD versions 17 and older. In this situation, the full content of the 3D window - even content that is not visible on screen - will be rendered, with its size determined by Render Size.
This setting (whether Render Safe Frame is applied or not) is noted in the 3D Only panel of View Settings and on the 3D Visualization toolbar.

Ok, I found it: The earlier discussion, if you want to check that out.

The idea with undocking is a smart one that might lend some consistency but I do not have the same option to undock as you. I can click the minimize button to "undock" the 3d window, but from there I can not change the size of the window.
