Point Cloud Trimmed off when Zooming

Post by Guitar Quackery »

Hello all,

This is something that I've noticed on two projects, so far.

When I want to zoom in, on extreme close up details, the point cloud gets trimmed off, as if it is passing an invisible plane that makes anything past that plane invisible.

I'm including a screen shot that shows how the headstock of the guitar is cut off in s straight line.

I actually managed to fix tis once, as I think i discovered the solution by accident, but it was tedious and I can't remember how I did it.

I'm hoping there's a simple setting that is easy to adjust.

Thank you.

I am half answering my own question here.

I re-discovered that this is the "near clipping depth" adjustment, which I see that I can change by scrolling up and down on my mouse, while holding down the command button, on my Mac.

However, this adjustment is tedious. Is there a more straightforward way to type in the "clipping plane disabled" setting?

Thanks.

Yes, use the 'Display > Camera settings' menu (or the 'camera' icon of the left tool bar)
