While all curves and other object types appear in the Top, Front and Perspective Viewports, no objects appear in the Right Viewport in the example below.
The computer has the latest version of Rhino, Windows 11 and the Acer laptop’s Intel graphics card driver. I have pressed the “Reset to Defaults” in the rendering tab for Right Viewport and the “Restore Defaults” button on the View > Display Options… screen, all with no positive results.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
try Zoom All Extents
Hi Ftrits1956
Thanks for your suggestion. I tried View > Zoom > Zoom Extents All
It made all the objects invisible in all the viewports (see below)
Hi Tim -
Without the 3dm file, it’s impossible to tell for sure, but that probably means there are some objects far away from your main objects.
If you select your main objects and run Invert, what does the command line read?
-wim
Hi Tim -
Hmmm… probably not, no.
Aren’t those the objects that were visible in the picture in your first post?
So, if you select everything that you want, and then run Invert, is anything reported to be selected?
-wim
Hi Wim
This time I selected all the objects comprising the house and did Invert (“30 polysurfaces added to selection”). The Right ViewPort is still empty…
What were you expecting to see there?
Hi Tim- In Top select the things you know are in the model - all of them. Hide. Now Zoom Extents in all viewports. Do you see any objects?
-Pascal
Show everything and then do the same thing as Pascal suggested, but select your visible model from the Front view. My feeling is that if you did this from the Top view and nothing else was selected there are some objects perhaps far in + or - Z.
I have a feeling you imported some stuff at the wrong scale or something probably the objects are very tiny so you can’t see them.
As a worst case, start turning off layers one by one, then Zoom Extents and see if that helps, or even start selecting the objects one by one and hiding them.
Hi Tim -
How can you be sure?
Obviously, Zoom Extents has zoomed way out - else we would still see the CPlanes.
As long as you don’t upload your 3dm file, we’ll just have to keep guessing, but when you now window-select small areas of the viewport, will that sometimes lead to something being selected?
I’m guessing that you have several objects far away in many different directions. None of them are large enough to be visible when zooming to the extends.
-wim
And, on Zoom Extents, does Properties show giant coordinates for the camera? Better post or send us the file - tech@mcneel.com, with a link back here in your comments…
-Pascal
Hi Wim, Pascal and Frits
Thanks for all your help with this. I am experimenting with your suggestions now.
To make it a little clearer what I am talking about, the photo below shows a curve in the Right ViewPort at the same time Rhino is asking me to specify which related polysurface I wish to select in the Front ViewPort to its left. This is the only time I can see any object in the Right ViewPort. The rest of the time, I will see the GumBall only and not the object the gumball is attached to…
Thanks for your offer to look at the Rhino file. I am sending it to tech@mcneel.com
Cheers
Tim
Hi Tim -
Thanks for that file.
When you run SelBadObjects, 19 objects will be selected. Delete those.
After that, run 4View 2 times.
Run ZEA.
You will now see your objects in all 4 viewports:
As you can see in this image, there’s a surface on the “Roof” layer that is floating around to the left of the main objects. When you hide that and run ZEA, you will still be seeing too much in the Front and Right viewports. Unlock the “Contours” layer and select the objects on that layer (SelLayer).
You will see that two extrusion objects are selected that extend to the world CPlane:
Somehow, two curves measuring 0.03 meters and 0.78 millimeters (your document units are set to meters) were extruded from the terrain to the world CPlane. I’d delete those two extrusions.
At that point, your model will behave as you’d expect.
-wim
Hi Wim
Thanks for all that. You’re a genius! I will watch out for BadObjects in future.
Cheers
Tim
