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, Iā€™m experiencing the same problem. Iā€™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.

Iā€™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 didnā€™t even draw the grid. Iā€™ve had this problem for two weeks now.

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!

Thatā€™s most likely it. Try F for focus on the object to zoom in instantaneously.

Wow, thatā€™s a helpful shortcut haha. Iā€™m still curious as to what set the distance so far out. I know I miss-input a keyboard shortcut, but I donā€™t know which. Maybe Iā€™ll do it again and find out.

P.S. I dig your username!
