Graphics issue on rotating 3D view and connection gone after model updated

Hello,

I tried to update a model from 7.1 to 19.1 and there are some issues.

Some part of objects become invisible(look like hidden in fog) when I rotate the view angle. And all A-connection between objects are disappear.

I guess it's a big gap between 7.1 and 19.1. So I tried to update 7.1 to 7.7 but result the same.

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.1.1

Hey @steven.chen

Could you upload your model so we could take a closer look?

Thanks!

It is a feature of the Perspective Projection. The perspective view clips objects in the greater distance.

Turn this option off and then you can rotate the view without any clipping.

Thank you for your help. After re-check the perspective projection box, the issue is solved.

Your model has default Perspective view settings saved with a low viewfar value. After checking and unchecking the Perspective Projection box, it will fix the viewfar value for that one view, but you should check the Save Settings as Default button so that it saves those view settings the next time you open a 3D view in that model:

Alternatively, you could delete the DefaultGUIs node in the tree so that it uses the default view settings instead of the values that were saved in that model.

To fix the 3d view click Open Default Workspace.

As for the connections being invisible, is the Show Connections checkbox in the Quick Properties checked?
