Hi… no matter what i do i find my near clipping plane clipping geometry too early so i cant get in close to my models to work on small details, even when i home in on a single vertex for example.. it doesnthome fully and clips if i try to get nearere.

is there a manual setting for the near clip? or soem other solution to this?

my model isnt particularly small either.. it seems reasonably sized. i dont really want to scale everything because there are so many sections.

cheers,

Mark

near/far clipping plane settings are in display prefs.. hit ‘d’ in the viewport or click the plus button on the right tow away bar..

Don't forget though if you look through a camera the viewport will switch to using the camera settings. Can't remember off hand if that then overwrites your manual settings so that you have to change them again, but something to look out for.
