Parts of Model Disappearing
-
Hello All again,
the current model i am working on is big, its currently at 18mb, when I toggle aroundparts of it disappear, is this a memory problem?
i checked the current memory usage and its at 60%, so why would part of the model be disappearing when I toggle around, any ideas?

There are limits to what OpenGL can handle... If you model is VERY big or it's a long way from the origin the you can get clipping of the nearest parts. Try toggling perspective and parallel camera settings on/off and also trying zooming extents between to fix it. If there's lots of stuff you aren't needing all of the time then try putting that onto 'switched-off' layers so there are fewer things to process...

This is where clipping (and possible troubleshooting) is described more detailed:
