hello everyone.
while in my scene. (not game!) the display is bugging.
as you can see. my scene camera is like 10meters away from the object but they are disapearing…
how can i fix this?

This is caused by the near clip plane being too far away. I believe the near clip is adjusted each time you focus the camera on an object (by selecting something and pressing F). It does so based on the size of what you’re asking to focus on. If you’ve got a huge mesh and focussed on it, the scene camera will have pulled right out to fit it all in view and adjusted the clip plane accordingly.
So, select something small and press F. See if that fixes things for you.

Thank you very much, this fixed it for me also 
Yep, helps me in late 2019 also. But I have to admit, I haven’t yet learned what a “clip plane” is or why a “near one” could be too far away. But using F on something small works… Maybe I will understand someday… note, my game is 2D… and a few simple rectangular objects were getting chopped off in the most illogical ways… Anyway, THANKS.
Picked this up from a gist, very nice.
Could be modified to do far also I think.

I had the same problem but the F key didn’t fix this, after further investigation I found my problem was the Main Camera position being to low. After adjusting the height above the ground plane all works great now.
Hope this help others.

Thank you!
Thanks bro
In the screenshot he’s already in perspective mode, but doing what you said fixed my clipping issue so thanks.
thanks bro…
And in 2021
If hitting F doesn’t work (like in my case in 2022.1.0b4), you can also just double click a gameobject in the scene hierarchy, it will do the trick.

BRO THX
I’ve been using Unity for years now and got stumped on this one. Lol. Thank you for the solution!
