3D View with cutted objects faces as per virtual visitor

[lcampa]

Hi guys!!

I'm having the following problem with the virtual visitor view: it looks as if the visitor is occupying a larger space than it should and the nearest objects are cut out.

This is a 7 floor building!




Thanks for your support!!!

Nice building [:)]

The visitor doesn't occupy more space. It must be the front clipping distance that is too far. This distance is the value from which the objects starts to appear in the 3D view. I could set it to a very small value like 1 cm, but then the objects that are very far wouldn't be correctly computed.
Actually, Sweet Home 3D uses a variable value for this distance that depends on the elevation of the visitor because at ground level, you can't see very very far, but at the opposite when you go higher, you can see objects that are farther. At the 7th level, the computed distance must be too big and you've got this bad effect. Please, post a bug request so I keep in mind to improve this in a future version.

Note that this issue won't happen with the photo renderer at the two best quality levels.

Thanks, I've been wondering about this. I put the reminder in sourceforge just in case.

From version 5.5, the front clipping distance varies much less with the altitude, and this issue shouldn't happen anymore.
