Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Strange display

I'm not sure how to describe the problem, so I'll attach a photo. I'm not in x-ray mode or anything, it just looks funny, like a semi-transparency.

Any ideas?

I've tried playing with the clipping planes, but without getting any real results. Right now they're set at 0 and 1 000 000. Sometimes when I make the far clipping plane further the whole thing disappears. Nearer, too. The whole model is in meters, and it's pretty big since it's a modeled chunk of Manhattan. What exactly do you mean by scale settings?
