Wacky Perspective Views in Viewports!!

[APE Design Ctr]

I am rendering a viewport of an architectural object outdoors. I create a viewport, and change it to Perspective - Normal.

I get, what appears to be a terribly stretched object, kind of like the perpective point is way off the screen somewhere else.

I placed the objects in the centre of the drawing sheet (X/Y) thinking that was the problem, and it doesnt help.

What can I do?

Thanks

Have you tried setting the view first, and then creating a VP? I find it gives me more control:-)

Oh, PS: if the VP contains multiple layers you would need to first create a layer link, then set the view, then create the VP...

Can you please explain a little further (I am still fresh)

What do you mean by Setting view, and what does this do?

Also - linking layers.

Thanks

if you need an explaination of how and when to use layer linking and how to use the Set 3D View command (both of these are on the view menu), then you need some training.

Both of these topics are covered in my Essential Manual that many people here on the list have used to great success. The manual is available from:

Thx I will check it out.

After you get the perspective window use the "walk through" tool to back out till you see the whole object, and then use the "translate view" tool to move the object inside the perspective window.
