    Problem with huge objects in viewport.
    Object is 1500000m radius sphere. I cant see it in wiewport, only after render or if I set display method of viewport to lines. I tried to use software shading and opengl as well – same result.
    Is there a way to make it visible in viewport with Gouraud shading display method?

    Seems to be an OpenGL limitation. Turn off OGL in preferences and you should see the object.

    Out of curiousity, why in the world do you need such a large object?

    I tried to turn off openGL and use software shading, but it doesnt helps.
    I need such big objects in scene to show sun scale to Earth (it is 109 times bigger).

    You know that you could just scale the sun object down and *say* it’s bigger, right? 😉
