Hey

I 'm making a scene in Maya which is quite large. If I zoom out in my perspective view the back of the model/set gets clipped. If I zoom out enough it disappears.

How do I take the clipping off?

Thanks

Maybe I'm just dumb but I don't have a View tab

look in the panel menus... the menues that border your camera view. not the menus at the top.

Or you could click on Window -> Outliner,
then select your camera (which probarbly is named 'persp')
and go to the attribute editor.
(Display -> UI Elements -> Attribute Editor).
