I was messing about with keyboard combos in 2.80 alpha trying to remember how to add a render preview rectangle, however I seem to have done something that has masked my model in 3D space, which I can rotate around. It's on a global level as multiple objects are being masked the same way.

I am lost as to what I've done and how to clear it. ⎈ Ctrl⌥ OptB doesn't seem to work.

Hopefully this is something easy and I'm having a brain fart, otherwise it's an embarrassment to say I've been using Blender for 15 years...

  • It seems to be per-viewport, as I just created a new one and it didn't travel across. Really curious as to what this feature is though, as nothing comes up under "clear" in the menu... – Matt Fletcher Aug 22 '19 at 12:46
  • just curious, why aren't you using blender 2.80 stable? (also, a preview rectangle uses the shortcut, ctrl b – Millard Aug 22 '19 at 13:18
  • Just haven't got around to downloading the stable release yet. I use blender about once a year ha. And cheers, yeah it had escaped my muscle memory, too used to Adobe's M for marquee – Matt Fletcher Aug 22 '19 at 13:33
  • I had the same problems a few days ago. The solution I found was restarting Blender. – LeoNas Aug 22 '19 at 13:40
  • Maybe it´s your viewport clipping? IN the "N" toolbar on the right side of your viewport, there is a tab called view. At the top you can change the clip start and end. Hope htat helps! :) – morph3us Aug 22 '19 at 13:44
  • @morph3us Perhaps, but it definitely happened after I drew some form of rectangle. Not sure if it's a bug or just some undocumented feature! – Matt Fletcher Aug 22 '19 at 14:15

I had used this masking method before on an older file, but then forgot what it is and how to use it. Wanting to remove it so I can see the full model, I looked it up online & found this post.

The answer with B helped, as I tried different combinations. Press ⎇ AltB(on Windows) to remove it and ⎇ AltB again to draw a new one.

From this shortcut I managed to search & apparently it's called a "Clipping Border" or "Clipping Region".
