I am setting up a new account and its been forever since I set up my old one. My view is terrible. I need to take pics of buildings from far back but they disappear the further I go back and I lose full sections of the image. I know this is in my settings but I cannot for the life of me find it again.

Anyone have any suggestions where I go to fix this?

Preferences - graphics - check custom - draw distance.

Do you need to set it higher than preferences allows? RenderFarClip is the debug setting for it iirc. ;)

I took a pic of a build that extended across three sims that way once (and I was so flattered when my image won in a photo contest :) )!

(For those with low FPS, you can set it below 64 that way too, :cool: I was able to double my FPS by setting mine to 48 once upon a time!)
