I’m curious about the clipping issue, and what the easiest way to fix it is. I saw one possible solution, that I’m testing. To see if it works I have been searching for example cases. After about an hour of searching I only found one example model that actually has clipping. Most other posts are on the lines of:
“my model is cut off”
“that’s a known issue, see this article”
“sigh, why don’t Trimble fix that!”
Only a couple of posts had a model, and one didn’t have clipping after all, and the other had severe clipping. The approach I’m trying (on my Mac) easily fixed that model.
Do any of you have example models that are still a problem, or know of posts where there was an example posted that did show clipping?
There are a number of work arounds, including going into perspective and zoom extents. Some people make the point that they are in Parallel Projection for a good reason, and they may need to be in a close up view. What I’m trying fixes things without stopping you from doing either of those things.
Thanks. But how do I make it clip? It’s behaving well, even if I look at the small “spidder”.
I did afterwards find that in Perspective, and going super close, I would pass through the walls of the spider’s legs. But that seems normal. I couldn’t get any clipping in Parallel Projection.
I am a new user and seem to have this problem when I rotate, pan and zoom. Is this what is called “clipping” ? Seems to occur when I am in “Parallel Projection”.
I copied the model into a new file and find that I cannot reproduce the problem. So, it must be some mistake I am making, or a peculiarity in my software/hardware. And this is the typical pattern that I encounter. I create a model, everything is fine, and then the clipping occurs. My workaround has been to save the model, then reopen and I am good for another period of time.
Seems like I am a “Clipping” magnet today. Here is another example. I note that in this case I switched between xray and normal view before the behavior started. Very frustrating for any SU user, but especially for a new user trying to establish a consistent workflow.
And simply switching to “Perspective” solved the issue, this time!
