Scene editor camera is cutting off my objects

hello everyone.

while in my scene. (not game!) the display is bugging.
as you can see. my scene camera is like 10meters away from the object but they are disapearing...

how can i fix this?

 

This is caused by the near clip plane being too far away. I believe the near clip is adjusted each time you focus the camera on an object (by selecting something and pressing F). It does so based on the size of what you're asking to focus on. If you've got a huge mesh and focussed on it, the scene camera will have pulled right out to fit it all in view and adjusted the clip plane accordingly.

So, select something small and press F. See if that fixes things for you.

 

this fixed it for me! huge thanks to u my friend!

 

Just change to Persp

 

Thank you @mark_cb from 2016! Your answer is still helping people 2019!

 

ya it just helped me, i selected a object and pressed F which fixed the clipping issue. ty so much

 

Thank you very much, this fixed it for me also

 

Yep, helps me in late 2019 also. But I have to admit, I haven't yet learned what a "clip plane" is or why a "near one" could be too far away. But using F on something small works... Maybe I will understand someday... note, my game is 2D... and a few simple rectangular objects were getting chopped off in the most illogical ways... Anyway, THANKS.

 

Picked this up from a gist, very nice.
Could be modified to do far also I think.

you are my hero

 

2020!

 

I had the same problem but the F key didn't fix this, after further investigation I found my problem was the Main Camera position being to low. After adjusting the height above the ground plane all works great now.
Hope this help others.

Thank you!

 

Thanks bro

 

In the screenshot he's already in perspective mode, but doing what you said fixed my clipping issue so thanks.

 

thanks bro..

 

And in 2021

 

If hitting F doesn't work (like in my case in 2022.1.0b4), you can also just double click a gameobject in the scene hierarchy, it will do the trick.

 

BRO THX

 

I've been using Unity for years now and got stumped on this one. Lol. Thank you for the solution!

 

Just wondering, is there a way to auto adjust the clipping without reframing?

 

I believe you can adjust it on the toolbar in the attached screenshot. This is with Unity 2021.3. You can use dynamic clipping or manually define clipping planes.


This actually helped me with my issue because I was still seeing clipping after everyone else's suggestions and all I had to do was enable Dynamic Clipping

 

THANK YOU!

 

I angerly deleted 20 min of work THEN I saw this. -_- haha thanks for the tip in 2022

 

Resetting the Editor Layout helped me get rid of clipping in the Scene View.

 

Another Thank you and Greetings from 2023!

 

Hall of fame post. Just worked for me too.

 

thx

 

In addition to focusing on an object with F to reset the clipping planes, you can also manually set it to whatever you want by opening the Scene view camera settings from the top right corner of the Scene window, disabling Dynamic Clipping and setting your own Near value. The default is 0.03, but I like to use 0.01 myself.

 

Thank you so so much! It works after six years!

 

Thank you from July 2023!

 

thank you so much this was my problem and i have been looking for ages to find a solution

 

THANKS!! I was just discovering this and thought it would be a bug or something. Ouuuff* !

 

2023 here! I found it works best to double click a small object in your Hierarchy

 

thank you it works

 

Thanks a lot buddy

 

The GOAT for helping me in 2023

 

Thank you, this answer still helping in 10/2023
