Navisworks Blackouts

[ksperop37]

Within the last week I have started experiencing blackouts when I tilt the view in Navisworks usually when trying to view the side of the drawing.  The picture will come back when I tilt the view to way up or way down.  The weird thing is it isn't consistent and I can't pinpoint it to anything.  I am really just curious if anyone else is having a similar issue?  I don't know if it matters but all the files I append are NWD files and their original format are CADmech/Duct, Sprink Cad, AutoCad, and East Coast Cad.

Have you checked to see if sectioning is enabled?

Sectioning is disabled.

There is thread (or 2) over at AUGI that covers this exact subject.

If you only have NWDs to work with, this is the most likely best fix (from the AUGI thread):

I have had this on most of my models & to solve the problem I adjust the clipping planes in navisworks.

This is found under 'Tools', 'Files Options' if you select fixed for both near & far & change the Near to 1 & the far to 9999999999999999999999 then all should work fine.

Tried this today and I didn't have any problems. Thanks for the tip. If it shows back up, I'll update you.
