.... go down and click the reveal hidden elements icon

... click on the crop view box and turn that blue

... right click

.... unhide in view elements

.... and then click again the reveal hidden elements icon

The Crop Region does not show up for a 3D view. You want to check the box for "Section Box" in a 3d view.

But the thing is, that even in hidden elements I cant see crop box...

I thing it is too small somewhere in the jungle and thats why it crops evrerything..

If you use the Section Box checkbox to turn this on, you should be able to do a ZE/ZF which will show the furthest boundary of the Section Box (it will crop the view to match the Section Box).

.... delete your 3dview

... create a new one

... then in hidden elements look first for the crop view

... it needs to be checked

.... after having that on view

... go and make your section box

.... you can have both ...

Yes. You can have both but the Section Box gives much more flexible control over what is visible.

uncheck Crop View
check Crop Region Visible
Zoom Extends
Zoom out a couple of times
Draw a selection box from bottom right to Top Left (you now have selected al the elements in view)
Filter the selection, selecting only Category Camera.

If I am right , you now have the Crop Region selected.
