The only view that will show all the layers is the front regardless what layers I tried turning off and on, all columns are turned on. everything was OK until I moved the main object within the structure and then the main object disappeared for all but the one view. I’m a pretty unsophisticated user and at a loss here. I did try to save as rhino 5 and open there with the same results. No plugins installed. Any thoughts.
Yes, It made all other views except for my "Front " go blank No grid or anything. If I use dynamic zoom on the front view it seems normal but makes no difference on the rest of the views that is noticeable. However, if after using zoom extents, selecting the entire screen, I see something there. After using zoom dynamic to scroll on for a very long time I do see an unrecognized curve displayed that looks almost like a sine wave. . If I try to do anything with that curve it disappears and I need to start over to find anything on the screen. I can try and send the file but it is pretty large.
Nope, It did cause me to loose many more surfaces on the model. I opened the “Front” view selected the entire model used the invert command, hit delete and viola, Less model.
Mike, the object in the file are bad… very bad… objects. I cannot tell yet which ones exactly because the thing has bogged down Rhino, but here’s a screen grab of a small part of the wireframe:
I assume this is imported? Do you have the original step file or whatever it was?
Aha - the thing is in outer space. This far from the World Origin:
My thoughts exactly, I have no idea what that artwork is or how it came about. I have the file of what it should be and possibly the difference will indicate what caused the issue. I’m glad since this is a wip, I followed protocol and made backups. If you want I will send the model that is not corrupt. Should look like the attached picture

This is what it originally looked like before I moved the location of the central component to a slightly different location in between the two large red saddles.

Hi Mike - that file seems fine - there is a bad object or two but nothing hideous. I can imagine, maybe, that dragging an object in a view very shallow to the CPlane could move it pretty far, but not that far…
