I somehow managed to get my model into a very odd display mode where it looks like I can only see the inside faces of objects and the lines for objects appear through each other even if in the background. I tried changing my style and verified I don;t have back edges or x-ray enabled. Here is a picture of what is happening.
Does anyone have an idea of what could have happened and how to fix it?
X-Ray mode is definitely not enabled. Everything was working when I initially created the model but I suppose it could definitely be a problem with the video driver. I have it running on Linux using Crossover Wine so that could be could be causing some unexpected issues.
Yep, that fixed it. I had it in Parallel Projection when working from the top view to size everything. I didn’t realize that would cause an issue with the view.
No so easily in Parallel Projection anyway. With SU Pro there’s Advanced Camera tools that would place a component where the camera is located. I haven’t looked but there might be a similar extension in the Extension Warehouse. Probably the easiest thing is to remember to model in Perspective instead of Parallel Projection.
FWIW there’s a tool that can show camera parameters that works in Windows. I believe it gives eye position in inches. What I got for the starting point for the camera in your model translates into -225,787,719, -1,139,350,128, 852,765,464. Those are the coordinates in statute miles from the origin.
