I’ve been working through one of the tutorials and noticed a clipping plane bug. Basically zooming in or out I get this white plane that goes through my sketch so I can no longer see it. I’ve taken some screenshots but can’t see a place to upload them on here.

Cheers

Ben

You are currently operating outside of our size box (I assume), which is a 1km³ cube. I think if you operate with smaller dimensions you won’t see this problem.

Here is how you can change your units: [https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002303713-Units](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002303713-Units)

Ah right. Yes, I see I copied the measurement down wrong. Thought the tutorial was in meters when actually it was in millimetres. It does pose issues for working in meters though.

Thanks for the help.
