Rendering Problem
(OP)
So, I've been working on this model for a long time. It worked fine until a couple days ago now it won't render right. 2D wireframe looks fine but any 3D rendering looks like the image I attached. Since this supposed to be used for all disiplines to make sure everything fits together and to help our client make sure everything lays out as they want, its important that it is viewable. It prints just as it looks on screen. Any suggestions for what this might be doing?

I see you're using the 3DOrbit command, turn it off, and then try the plain old render command. My suspiscion is you may have the clipping planes on, or have your perspective set on, and you're just too close. Turning orbit off and then using the plain old render command should tell you where you are.

The render command produces the same image as the 3DOrbit, the only way to return the shapes to normal is in a 2Dwireframe. I've tried messing around with the 3DConfig, dropping the fps and unchecking the boxes to no avail.

It's not difficult for a 3D model to become corrupt. If it's a solid model, run the 3DEdit command and the "Check" option - this will let you know whether or not it's valid shapemanager object - if it's not, you may have found your issue.
Good Luck

You can try to audit the drawing, or do the empty drawing file and insert the offending file - once in a while these tricks work, short of that, you may be S.O.L.
Sorry...

Easily. The further things get away from 0,0, the more calculations AutoCAD has to perform and the larger the numbers the more complex yada yada yada... You get the idea.
Good find, glad you were able to work it out.
