AutoMarcus — Thu, 10 Feb 2022 02:08:14 GMT

Hi All

I have a large NWD file that i have inserted into a model file

I have then xreffed the model file into my drawing as a background.

in model space the model is only visible when zoomed out, when i zoom in it dissapears.

it is not visible in paperspace at all, even with realistic or conceptual visual styles for the viewport.

anyone have any ideas?

Hi @AutoMarcus
I am not familiar with NWD files, however, this sounds similar to a problem I had with surfaces in Civil 3D. Maybe the problem is "level of detail" that is located under View>Views>Level of detail. Missing Contours in Civil 3d. Hope it helps.
