Mickey Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Help. I have a file I've been working on for years. It's been saved as into different versions for a long time. When I use to the tool "Set 3D view" to look at something my view is not what I'm expecting. For example. If I make a new drawing and create a wall, and I Set 3D view, and draw a line 10' away with 6' viewer, and look to at 6' I am essentially looking straight at the wall. In this particular file when I set 3D view to 6' and look to 6' and draw a straight line, but it creates this window instead of a 3D environment, and I have to pull the edges of this window to get it where I'm expecting, and it never has the right perspective. I can't figure out where to change this 3D view settings. I tired searching for "Set 3D view options" but VW help is f'ing useless as it gives me 1700 results with everything that has the word SET and VIEW in it. Quote Link to comment
Mickey Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 I called tech support and got the answer. A legacy feature called "crop perspective view" can be found in File/Document Settings/ Document Preferences / Display, and the very last check box at the bottom. How did that get checked?

A guess - Perhaps in your version to version up-saving the file vwx “remembered” and switched to the default setting. Especially suspect would be one or other of these past few versions defining certain features as legacy (phase out). -B Quote Link to comment
