You can also control the front and rear clipping planes independently by holding down the "Shift" key along with the right mouse button (assuming you are in the standard 3-button viewing mode). Moving the mouse vertically changes the front clipping plane and moving it horizontally changes the rear clipping plane. Cheers, Rob -- Robert L.
