Camera and Light Icons Too Small in Viewport

[braddewald]

All the sudden, when creating a camera, the icon and its target are very small -- like half-size. The same happens with vray ies lights -- the icons are very, very small. My "non-scaling object size" is set to 1.0. Any ideas?

Have you opened a file that has different units than you usually use? I notice that my "non-scaling object size" is set to 0.01m and therefore relative to the system units

The size of the icons are not dependent on the units in 3dsmax. You will have to create a new scene with the units that you are using for your original scene. Now set the icon sizes Customize > Preferences > Viewports - set the field Non-Scaling object size (default value is 1.0). Merge your original scene objects into the this newly created scene, i think this should solve your problem

Neither of those things worked...It's only in new scenes where the vray camera is small. The last few scenes I worked on before this problem still show the camera at it's correct size. What gives?

[Bruce Hart]

Hmmm sorry... is it just a Vray Camera Icon this is small? What happens with a normal Max camera? Can't say I've ever had that problem, but I would like to know what is going on.

It looks like it happens with both... I just found out one more piece of interesting info: if I go full-screen in any viewport (alt-w) the cameras go back to their normal size. When I'm showing all four viewports at once, however, the cameras go back to being small (in all four viewports).
