Zoom cutting problem in make 2015-64bit
-
Is it just me or the sketchup 2015 make version has this zoom sectional cutting problem occuring more often than the previous ones? As a solution I am moving my model closer to the axis, but the problem persists.
-
Any groups/components in the model? If yes, where is the origin located?
-
The 'clipping-plane' issue has been discussed endlessly...
It still occurs in v2015 - but I don't see that it is any worse that it ever was.
The main causes are your model, and are fixable [unless you are modeling a city!].
They occur most frequently if you have imported a CD DWG...
Typical causes/cures.
Geometry or Guides that are miles from the model's origin [move things back to the origin - or delete it - if it's not needed?]
Geometry or Guides inside Components/Groups that are miles from that container's origin [delete it - it's not needed?]
Components [ex-Blocks] that have their origins [insertion-point] miles from their geometry [change the axes in the context-menu to be sensibly located]
Imported Components [ex-Block] that in CAD were incorrectly imported at the wrong size and rescaled, so in SketchUp you then have a Component that is them miles across, but scaled much smaller in the model - e.g. a 1000mm door imported into CAD as if it were meters not mm, and then scaled down to be 1m if a kilometer across albeit scaled down...
Remember that these objects which might be causing the issue might be 'hidden' or be assigned an OFF layer - ensure everything is visible before trying to delete wayward objects...
Also ensure you have 'reset the axes' in the context-menu so you do not get a false sense of where [0,0,0] is ! -

I only saw it once or twice in over a year of using 2013 & 2014. It has happened to me on some very simple and small models that were centered at 0,0,0. Usually if I mess around with zooming and rotating for a little while it will end up going away. The funny thing I have noticed it is that it happens more often for me on simple models than on complex ones.

Thanks a lot TIG sir for this explanation, I'll do a double check on my model. But I seem to lose hope now ntxdave is also in the same problem as me. Maybe we both have found a bug or some common hardware problem specially with respect to 2015-64 bit version?
Yes, you guessed it right, I am working on a CAD dwg imported file. Origins I checked a lot in SU for this notoriety but didn't found any miles apart things. Interestingly, whether the modelled area was moved near or away from origin, the cutting zoom problem's intensity didn't differ.

You can get problems with the origin from a cad file even when it seems to be in the right place. I recently fixed a DWG that was causing clipping that the user was adamant that the origin was correct. I checked and in this case it had been imported with retain origin intact ticked, so when I looked for it the true origin of the dwg was 69,000 miles from the SU origin.

The times I have a problem were with files I created in SU. I do not import other files, they have a lol been my creations.
