Is it possible to improve the visibility of this part?

Below is an image of an excrusion that I recently made:

You can see in the image that there are various visual artifacts in the upper-right portion of the profile, along the entire length. If I change the angle a bit, it looks normal:

Is this an issue with one of my settings?

Forgot to upload the freecad file. See attached.

Sometimes this helps:
1. switch to perspective camera
2. view fit
3. switch back to ortho camera

I tried that, it didn't go away. Thanks for the tip.

Is this perhaps a bug in some of our ViewProvider code?

View/Standard views/Fit all fixes it here with same version as yours. It first becomes very small but then when I zoom in there are no more artifacts.

If I open provided file, I got:

Code: Select all

>>> obj.Shape.BoundBox
BoundBox (-19.05, -19.05, 0, 19.05, 19.05, 2438.4)

and

Code: Select all

>>> Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.getCamera()
'#Inventor V2.1 ascii\n\n\nOrthographicCamera {\n  viewportMapping ADJUST_CAMERA\n  position -281.32678 -105.48135 48.087006\n  orientation -0.20818105 0.77575141 0.5957101  0.17700431\n  nearDistance -2409.7192\n  farDistance 8.5008163\n  aspectRatio 1\n  focalDistance 17.320509\n  height 77.095169\n\n}\n'

that means your cam is placed in the middle of your part and a negative "nearDistance" is necessary


a new cam after switching to perspective view and back to ortho view

Code: Select all

>>> Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.getCamera()
'#Inventor V2.1 ascii\n\n\nOrthographicCamera {\n  viewportMapping ADJUST_CAMERA\n  position 78.057686 6.4297304 2520.6848\n  orientation -0.20818105 0.77575141 0.5957101  0.17700431\n  nearDistance 88.758568\n  farDistance 2511.981\n  aspectRatio 1\n  focalDistance 93.062103\n  height 94.164246\n\n}\n'

and so we will have a nice camera position outside of your part and a positive near and far distance
