Why are so many elements hidden during navigation?

ZOOM is built to provide very smooth navigation. To do so, it will render as much elements as possible while maintaining a high frame rate. If only a little amount of entities remains visible, it is possible that there are several complex elements in your view with a very high number of vertices.

Running the smart view ‘Vertex count check’ within our Validation examples can help you identify these complex entities in your model.
