    The same is true for flying through a part. As Jimmy said, the
    disappearing is caused from flying through the clipping plane so you
    need to establish where it is. A variation on the method is to zoom
    close to the end of where you will be flying, picking Orbit then
    clicking on the farthest point on the model. This will set the clipping
    plane beyond your visible geometry. Now zoom back to the start of your
    fly through and do it. If the farthest geometry is occluded by things
    in between, you can orbit around a bit so it is visible, click on the
    spot for clipping, orbit back and zoom out.

    Good question. Guess? Maybe a representation of an horizon plane to place
    a vanishing point for the perspective viewpoint? I'm sure someone will jump
    in and enlighten us :smileyhappy:
