Issue with ViewCube and Zoom Behavior in Fusion

21374119 — Tue, 24 Dec 2024 13:40:40 GMT

I'm experiencing an issue with the ViewCube in Fusion 360. Whenever I try to orbit around my product, the view doesn't rotate around the model properly. Instead, it zooms really far out, particularly when I set the view to Home or when I edit a sketch. I've tried resetting the Home view and centering the orbit, but this hasn't resolved the problem.

I've also checked for any stray objects or geometry far from the model, but I can't find anything that might be causing the issue. To complicate things further, when I switch to Render mode, the view also zooms out significantly, making it very difficult to work.

Any advice on diagnosing or fixing this would be greatly appreciated, its been driving me nuts for a couple of days now.

Have had to stick it in a zip file as it wont let me upload .f3z for some reason?

I do not see any issue with orbit using the Cube. In the video I show this and give you a possible solution.

I think the problem is: some action in your view cube manipulation has caused a "fit" (zoom all) operation, and one of your components likely has something that is VERY far away from the origin. At the top level, it seems to be the Handle_Bar_Assembly. If this component is made invisible, Fit works fine. As soon as I turn that on, Fit zooms out to approximately Mars distance. I'll poke around inside that assembly to see what I can find, but that is almost certainly the cause of what you are seeing.

it appears to be the "Button" component:

here's your problem: The Button component itself is place a long way from the origin:

move it back to where it is supposed to go, and you should be fine.
