Maya 2017 Update 4 display problem

[jonesm]

Hi I am having a problem with my viewport display on Maya 2017. When I am close up to an object in a scene the geometry displays properly, when I start to zoom out the geometry starts to display very oddly as though I have multiple copies of the same geometry occupying the same location. I have included the output from the output window on launch below and a video of the problem. I have already tried to change the viewport renderer to legacy, no luck and have tried changing to dx11 in the display settings, no joy either.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Hi @jonesm and welcome to the community!

This is most likely due to the camera clipping settings, you can change this in the Attribute Editor for the Perspective Camera.

To do this:

1. Select the Perspective Camera

2. Press CTRL+A

3. Add a few zeroes to the Far Clipping Plane.

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