      sometimes when I zoom into my models, I zoom through walls. So if I want to zoom enough to do some detailing, I can't. I uploaded an image because I don't know how to explain what happens. In the image, I wanted to zoom on to the top of my corner column, but instead, I entered inside the roof.
      I don't know if I made myself clear enough...

      Anyway, does someone know how can I correct this problem?

        This happens when your model out grows the graphics card. Try purging you model to get rid of all the used stuff like componants, materials etc. Also check the units you are working in. I find that happens less when i am working in millimetres. So you might have to scale your model up.

          Suggest two solutions. Scale model to a larger size. Also, have you tried using Section Cuts? By removing everything ahead of the work area you can get to the work area better. To remove the "film" of Section Cuts, go to View and un check Sections.

            This is called "clipping" and Google offers a few suggestions here:
