clipping planes?

[aluminum2]

I am working on a model much bigger than usual. When I rotate it around a section of the model gets cut almost like the section toggle button. I think they are clipping planes, but I do not know or see anywhere how to adjust them or disable them.

Try going to...

View -> Camera -> Edit...

...and near the bottom of the dialog and select the large button labeled 'Fit Planes to Extents'.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

took a little while to figure out, but it worked, thanks.

Great fix. I found another thread a while ago that said hitting the 'HOME' button worked which in most cases it does. I just happened to stumble upon this when I came to the forum for something else (currently have an FEA model that was clipping the coordinate system out and I couldn't fix it with the home button).

Why isn't this the default setting? Reminds me of thickness clipping happening in IDEAS...

What happens is that the default 'Display Extents' are based on some theoretical sized object and until an object is actually created during a new part file session and it's displays adjusted to them, they will remain as such since there is some consequences when the extents are much larger than actual needed to contain the bounding box of the object(s) in the display. So we opt for something reasonable. After all, aluminum2 did admit that the model was "much bigger than usual".
