Cutting Plane

[fernando-1]

How do I disable the cutting plane feature in Sketchup. Can't figure it out ..must have turned on accidentally. Thanks

Chris thanks. Unfortunately there is no Cutting Plane to click to, I wish there was that would be easy. As you can see in the screen shot the cut is at a weird angle... seems more like a clipping plane in a camera but I have no camera in the model... Strange...

Correct I removed all section/cutting to make sure. Plus it cuts the plane perpendicular to the orbit view...

Can't figure it out. It seems to happen on and off but when I turn parallel projection off it stops cutting the plane.

That is the "front clipping plane" of the camera that is permanently enabled.

Its set to be just an inch or so in front of the camera position, so I'd guess you have modelled at an extremely small scale (even if you have subsequently scaled up the Component/Group).

As Adam said, it's a scale issue related to the size of your drawing and the camera. You can try scaling up or down the model (usually up works), or try messing with the Field of View of the camera (Camera -> Field of View). There might be some geometry very far away in the model that is causing this. Try doing a zoom-all and see if that's the case.

 

I personally find this very annoying but it only happens to me when I'm working on a very large model and zooming in to a very tiny detail inside of it.

I had that issue in the past...just copy and paste all into a new Sketchup file!

I guess I'll have to try the copy-paste all trick, but at building scale, zooming into details out at the periphery I get that viewport clipping also. I'm unclear on why SketchUp does it - at least "inconsistently" (seemingly scaling it out further from the camera the further you are from the center.)
