• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Strange Anomaly in Sketchup

Hi,

This just happened all of a sudden and I don't understand why I'm getting this strange anomaly in Sketchup. Here the image:

This happens only when I zoom in at a certain angle and my Field Of View is set to the default, which is 35 degrees. When I orbit to another angle, it does not do this and everything is fine. It should not be doing this at all. I don't know what the term is for this strange anomaly so that I can maybe find a fix on the internet. Why am I getting this strange anomaly and how do I fix this problem?

Hi Ken:

Here's info on the 'Camera Clipping Anomaly' seen in Sketchup:

https://www.google.com/search?q=Ske...BeIgByQ-SAQQyMS4zmAEAoAEBsAEK&sclient=gws-wiz


There are at least 2 plugin Ruby scripts that may help:

When it occurs in Camera Perspective mode:

Samuel Tallet: https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=clipping_fix


When it occurs in Camera Parallel mode:

Christina Eneroth (aka "Eneroth3"): https://extensions.sketchup.com/ext...d5c-9995-bfe047595f69/eneroth-unclip-parallel


Sketchup's Camera Field Of View in Perspective view can also be adjusted to a longer focal length in an attempt to work around this:

1.) Drag the Magnifying Glass Tool to manually change the zoom in the Sketchup project workspace

2.) Type a longer focal length such as 50mm, 75mm, 150mm, 300mm etc., so a value appears in the bottom right Value Control Box (aka "VCB")

NOTE: Camera focal length allowed values are 12mm (ultra wide / 'fish eye' Field Of View) to 2500mm (narrow / 'telephoto' Field Of View )

3.) Press the <Enter> key

It happens when your model is too big in physical dimension. A reasonably complex, single large airport terminal building is probably too "large." One solution is to create components, which you can edit individually, another solution is to scale your model down by an extreme factor, try 10x, or 100x and remember to re enlarge it before publishing.
