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
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.
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.
@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,
YS
