Can not orbit in my drawing

Hey there , i propably misclicked something and now i can not orbit around my model, propably due to a very far object, camera view or something which i set it up far away from my drawing

here is my working file:
file

any help will be much appreciated

during my last edits i tryed to put some 3d text on the drawing…i think after all that the problem arised

somehow i was able to get to this view, not sure how i did it, this may be my issue, but i do not know how to fix it

Have you tried to move it back to the origin?

Could you change the access for the file, so that anyone with the link can download it?

just did it

not really sure i know how to do that without complex the situation further!

The model looks ok when I open it. Here it is, where all I have done is to save a copy:

Futhermore, if that might pops any possible solution, while in “parallel projection” i can see only the right & left section,

still i can not see something while in ISO,

and when in Top, Front,Back & Bottom i m missing the view


Thanks for your try but stil no luck for me!

That’s what i get while seeing it in Perpective and Iso camera,

check the red corner, on bottom left, eye value is like an infinite number

The model seems to have Scan Essentials data in it. It works fine on my Mac, but hard to use on my PC. I tried disconnecting the scan data, but it didn’t help.

@sWilliams or @DanRathbun may be able to see if the camera is corrupt in some way.

@geonat, try this one.

Thank you so much (and @colin), you saved me a ton of time

Could you say what seemed to be wrong in the model?

The model bounds indicated the model was located 1.0 E+30 feet (approx. 9 trillion parsecs) from the origin. The solution was to open the skp file with the web app (which did work correctly), copy everything, and paste into a new file.

I had measured the distance from the origin to the geometry, and it seemed to only be 70 meters. I also had copied everything into a new file. One other thing I did was delete everything in Outliner, and still the camera was misbehaving.

Here ya go Colin. I think this image tells the whole story.

Thanks. For anyone else curious about what extension that is, it’s this one:

@colin do we think that this clipping box was created (errantly) by Scan Essentials or is this something that the user has direct control over? I’m not familiar with Scan Essentials.

It is very likely the clipping box was created by scan essentials. I will get a copy of the model to them, in case there is a defect in how those boxes are created.

Hi,
Scan Essentials dev here.
To answer your question, the clipping boxes are manually created by the user. Either they define it by drawing a rectangle or by using a Sketchup entity bounding box or by using the point cloud bounding box. Note also that a point cloud should be opened to be able to create a clipping box.
In any case, even if it is technically feasible to create such a huge clipping box, it seems difficult to manually create it. There is probably an issue with the creation of the box.
Would you have a history of the file ? What was inside originally ?
Best,
