Orthographic viewports empty?

The perspective view port works just fine however i cant see any object or anything except the grid in the orthographic view-port which is a big issue for me.

I have tried the following:

. set show visibility to all
. reset layout
. restart engine
. build all

Hi, I’m experiencing the same problem. I’ve been working on my project for a month and suddenly orthographic view stopped working. Only thing I can sometimes see is atmosphericFog and decal bounds.

I’m unable to reproduce this problem in new projects.

I have tried building several times, resetting layout and toggling viewport settings and view modes. Nothing seems to help. At one point the orthographic view only showed gray color and it didn’t even draw the grid. I’ve had this problem for two weeks now.

That’s most likely it. Try F for focus on the object to zoom in instantaneously.

This may sound silly, but try zooming in on the origin. I had this issue too and turns out I was just zoomed ALL the way out so it seemed like an empty screen. Maybe i just got lucky and it was that simple, hopefully it is for you guys as well and not something more tedious to fix!

Wow, that’s a helpful shortcut haha. I’m still curious as to what set the distance so far out. I know I miss-input a keyboard shortcut, but I don’t know which. Maybe I’ll do it again and find out.

P.S. I dig your username!

Cheers F3NR1S… same issue just before… I was zoomed out too outerspace… when using ‘top view’ … Select item in perspective mode… switch to ‘top view’ then press F key to focus on object…

thanks that worked for me “F”

That was the issue for me too. zoomed in and now i can see orthographic views. thanks!

for me in the Details panel double clicking on StaticMeshComponent worked
