Not Field Of View in OpenGL

[Steve Clarkson]

I've been meaning to ask this for a while, with certain projects - not all, I don't get the full field of view in OpenGL.  Guessing there's a setting I've tweaked by accident, but I can't find it.  This is how it looks...

 

Thanks,

On the top right of that screenshot, there is a dropdown currently set to "Set Custom Perspective Projection", I usually leave this at Normal and i think thats the default perspective projection.

[Steve Clarkson]

Ah, I think that was from the Renderworks Camera I was working with, I changed the setting back to Normal and it's the same result.

If you deactivate the renderworks camera, go to top/plan view, then without using saved views go back to right isometric view, is it still in perspective? if you then switch that upper right settings does it change?

Renderworks cameras can have their own separate projection, I normally do not use it personally.

[Steve Clarkson]

Yes, that image I just added to the last post was with the camera deactivated, and the view changed.  This has happened to me without any cameras created, I just happened to mention it now after starting to work with them again (Which BTW is actually going great - the key is DEACTIVATING!!)

 

Here's with right Isometric:

added screen cap

It's like I'm in some kind of special bubble that cuts away anything close to me... For this view, I'm in the upper mezzanine at the back wall, everything should continue toward and past me with no view of the outside, lower level or main room to the right.

 

 

And... It is doing it in Wireframe too...

add more details

First I would deactivate "crop Perspective" found (or hidden) in File Preferences.

(That tends to arbitrarily switch on unwanted itself, in some cases,

but usually when cameras are involved)

 

Second,

such visibility cut issues likely happen when your Model is far from file origin.

So worth to check(/change)

Thrird,

Crops in DLVPs tend to cut wrong things in 3D Views as they stay "Screen plane"

while the geometry adapts to view rotation.

(But I think that is not the case in this case)

Same issue occurs in both of those files after a full machine reboot?

[Steve Clarkson]

I think I discovered the issue.

It's my scale settings.  The scale in this project is pretty huge....

 

 

Once I changed the scale to 1:384, I am able to zoom in much closer.  

hmmm, curious effect.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll definitely keep those points in mind along with scale

 

Cheers,

Steve
