Model disappears when I rotate


as you can see, the whole model disappears when I rotate the camera, and it’s only visible from the top standard view (i have tried the others, that did not help). It just started acting like this randomly in the middle of a session! Does anyone know what might be wrong with it?

nevermind, I found a solution!
for anyone encountering this issue, I fixed it by creating a new viewport :slight_smile:

Hi Vlad, which orientation did you create? Just curious—-Mark

Hello. I think you have a problem with the focal length. Try using the _Zoom and _ZoomLens functions.

I used the NewViewport command, it seems like the default is set to Top.

Select object>Zoom Selected>Rotate View

Hello, I have the same problem as you have in the video. But the new viewport did not fix my problem. And it’s always, even if I make a new file. I am using Rhino 8.

Hi Daniel -

Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste its output here.

I’d be curious is disabling d5 live sync and lumion live sync help at all-

Also I’d be curious to see if this happens if you remove your 2nd monitor as a test temporarily.

I had the same problem and solved it by using the SetView command.
