View port challenges

[J. Wallace]

Just finishing up a concept and I'm getting strange graphics behavior occurring. The viewport on the left shows a camera view but it looks like some lines from the site model are visible in front of some plants. I've looked through the file to make sure that these are not 2d polylines causing the issue...at a bit of a loss.

Jamie - Shootin' from the hip here. Did you see this recent thread in Rendering Forum where the site modifier objects were displaying in front of the view?

Your right side image, lower right corner shows a green hardscape(?) with diagonal lines. It's just barely visible in the left drawing. Could those lines have 2d duplicates that show in front of the 3d scene? Maybe they are on a class or layer that doesn't need to show?

Thanks for the reply @Benson Shaw. I checked out that thread, thanks. Also made sure that 'Display Planar Objects' was unchecked. With some further investigation it looks like it's coming from my site model. No idea why? This issue doesn't occur in the other VP which is a reverse angle. Thanks again Benson.

Hi I would say its coming from the contour lines showing on the 3D site model. Uncheck this setting.

@Alan Woodwell, thanks Alan that fixed it. Strange that the contour would project itself forward like that. Thanks again that was a huge help.

@J. WallaceNP. I would say its an on / off switch as needed. Often I will need to show the contours on the 3D site model for many reasons.
