Viewport cameras and huge objects

akmerlow

If i have a figure with pretty big scale, navigation of cameras becomes very sluggish. Sometimes i have a workaround using view:frame when, for example, i select a part of figure, but this could be not in all cases. So, any solution (acceleration switch?) or it really is... to make me move my mouse for a very long time?

Scale it down... (Scale your whole scene. It is a floating-point limitation.) Group it all into one group and scale the group. Except the camera, obviously. (Does the camera scale?)

TIP: Add more cameras, once you get to a location/zoom/angle you think you may need to revisit again. As opposed to constantly trying to drag the perspective camera around everywhere.

Also check if hardware acceleration is working, in preferences > interface I believe.

Thanks for tips

 

I don't see "acceleration" there, but under opengl it says "display optimization none"

What do you mean by this?

akmerlow

is changing xyz scale to something much smaller a "true" way?

 

edit:

 

ah, sorry. you question on "floating-point limitation" part obviously
