Large models 2

[HAJS]

Dear all,

I have a model with large dimensions (~100 meter). The model gives problems when displaying on the display. I cannot see it in total. NX cuts off parts of the model.When I use fit it still does not show the model.
Is this some scale setting within NX?

Please help!

There is a limitation on the largest object that parasolid will operate with.
I believe it is a 1,000m box about the absolute zero.
As your part is smaller than this
In Customer Defaults - Gateway - Visualization - View/Screen
Check the Maximum Size for an Objects Bounding Box the default for metric is 265000mm.
Add a zero and see if it helps.

Yes! This helps.
Thank you very much!

The problem you are experiencing is not because of the Objects Bounding box if I'm correct.
The problem you are experiencing is called screen clipping and will also happen with smaller parts, even when they fall well within he bounding box.

Screen clipping is happening when your model graphically is getting larger than the virtual box was when it was loaded. Easiest solition is to fit the model and your clipping boy will be recalibrated to fit your model again.

The fact that the above solution worked for you is probably because the actiob of changing it also re-calibrated the screen.
If your object is really falling outside the above mentioned bounding box the usual behavior is that you can't do anything with it..not the visual holes / cutoffs you were experciencing.

If the above doesn't work, run the Modeling application and try View -> Layout -> Replace View. When the Replace View dialog opens, pick any view and make sure the Fit View box is ticked then press OK. I imported some STEP models earlier this week and had an issue similar with dimensionally much smaller parts and this fixed my issue in all views.
