Graphics Issues?

[Franciscooo]

Hi,

Firstly, I am sorry if this has been asked before, I tried searching for an answer but came up with nothing. I am having a few visualisation issues.

Basically, when I create a new part and draw something, when I rotate the view, etc. Parts dissapear or get cut in half by some sort of imaginary plane.

I find this strange as it has not happened with a compule of test files I have downloaded from here and other places in the internet. This leads me to believe it is not a driver/graphics card issue.

Is there a setting I can change to stop this? I have attached a screenshot to hopefully illustrate the issue I am having.

I am running a 1GB GeForce 560GTX and running NX 8.0.

Thanks in advance!

There are a couple of things that you can do.

First try performing a 'Fit' as this should resolve this.

If that doesn't seem to help, go to...

View -> Camera -> Edit...

...and expand the section titled 'Clipping' and select the 'Fit Planes to Extents'. This will reset those front and back clipping planes that you're seeing the effect of on your model, what you called being "cut in half by some sort of imaginary plane".

Note that this is not really a 'problem' as much as it's a typical situation where you create a model and the initial length is significantly grater than say the front to back (depth) distance. And you then rotate the model BEFORE performing any display operations which would have rest the size of the display 'box' which the part will be positioned within. Normally during a modeling session a user performs a sufficient number of 'Fit' or 'Replace View' operations, during the normal course of working, that this issue never arises.

Anyway, give the suggestions a try an let me know if they helped or not.
