    Default Viewport Clipping Planes

    When I move my view close to an object, it gets cut off so I can't see it. I tried turning clipping on/off, but it doesn't seem to have an effect. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

    Thanks All,

    Turn on clipping planes and make the far value a crazy big number....the near should be 0...then turn it off. Also try zoom extents and ten zoom back in close....this almost always works for me. Another workaround is to isolate the object. I'll take a look when I'm done rendering to see if there are any other things related to viewport speed ups and the like...

    If I turn on clipping planes, then I can get it to work (the same way you suggested), but if I turn them off, the near clipping plane appears, but not at the plane I specified. So basically, I have to turn them on to turn them off...
