Scroll zoom phases through model

Hi,

I’ve been using sketchup for some years now so i generally understand how it all works. With a project ive been working on, whenever i zoom into a face to select a corner to grab or draw from, I can’t zoom in very close before sketchup starts to ‘phase’ through the model until its invisible.

I know this is normal and ive had no problem in the past with it, but this time i cant seem to zoom even the slightest bit into my model before it disappears and its very annoying. Im wondering if there is a setting ive changed or something to stop this from happening as it is making it really difficult to model. I thought it was maybe FOV but i have adjusted this and not seen much difference.

I’ve uploaded a video here.

Two thoughts:
Is the model far from the origin?
Upload the model for examination.

The model is right next to the origin. It is quite a large model if thats anything to do with it. I can upload the model but i will have to remove it later for confidentiality.

The entire model does span a large area. If that grid of plan and elevation views have served their purpose, delete that thing and purge unused stuff from the model.

FWIW, I fixed incorrect tag usage. All edges and faces should be created and remain untagged.

I also purged unused content.

And then I reduced the size of some of the textures which are larger than they need to be for the way you are using them in the model.


That reduced file size by about 45%. If you can eliminate that huge grid of 2D drawings, the clipping should quit and the model will be easier to work with.

Thank you, it’s much better now! I have been purging frequently throughout my project.

Can i ask how you changed all edges and faces to untagged? And how did you resize the materials?

I used aan extension from Sketchucation called Default Tag Geometry which go through the entire model and removes the tags from edges and faces and gives the report I showed.

I used Material Resizer from the Extension Warehouse for that.
