Hi, maybe this is a basic question, but I cannot figure out how to change camera the near and far clipping planes?
I cannot even see those “dotted rectangles” that appears in the description on the help menu…
Thnaks
use one viewport and exclude it from the Views Clipped of the clipping Plane
(properties)
now to the camera edit / modification in this view, where the clippling Plane is not active.
you can also use a
_NewFloatingViewport
Hi Bernardo -
I’m not sure which help page you are referring to, but, perhaps, using the Camera command is what you are after here?
Could you describe which problem are you trying to solve by changing those?

Hi @ripedro,
AFAIK you can’t change them - Rhino sets them according to what objects are in the viewport. For example, add a new object further away from the camera and the rear clipping plane moves back to accommodate it. Clipping plane is probably not an ideal name for them as it may make one confuse them with the “proper” clipping planes. I think of them more as indicators of visible scope.
They show up as pretty faint lines, but should appear like this when you turn the camera object on (here I have five objects in the model):

Thank you Jeremy, you got my topic.
That means that I cannot make camera cliping planes?
Once with a demo of Vray for Rhino (Vray camera), I could use it so easyly!
My issue is that, I am making shot in a small room, decreasing the camera lens under 20, makes the image so distorted. To overcome that issue (in 3D Max), I used to put the camera outside of the room, but with near clipping plane inside of the room, this is what I am looking for to do in Rhino…
Thank you. See my post to Jeremy.
The help menu when you press F1 in Rhino…
You can do that with a clipping plane (command _ClippingPlane). Here I’ve put one between the red wall and the subject to hide the wall in the perspective view:
Note that clipping planes are visible by default so here I’ve turned its visibility off in display options for the Rendered display mode so you can still see it in the other views. In normal use I would put clipping planes on their own layer or layers so they can be turned on and off at will. They still affect the image when turned off.
