Able to see through selected object

Fuzz_Ball — Wed, 02 May 2018 23:03:08 GMT

When I select a camera to view, like back view, when ever I select a polygon, I can see right through it, but it doesn't happen when I'm using the persp camera. The view port is the 2.0 with default setting. I switched to over different renders and they don't have that issue. I'm using 2017 Maya. If this is in the wrong section, I'm sorry.

Hi @Fuzz_Ball and welcome to the community!

This may be due to either the clipping plane settings of the camera and/or where the camera is in your scene.

If you select a camera in the Outliner then find it in the Persp viewport you should be able to move it backward and this affect will stop.

Another option is to select the camera and open the Attribute Editor and tweak the far clipping plane value.

Please let me know if this helps or if you need any more assistance!

Sorry for late reply. It seem to work, by just changing 10000 to 1000 on one of the cameras. Thanks for that and I'll keep it in mind. It is something I normally don't play around with
