[Bf-committers] small clipping question...

Yes, that would be interesting. But I was actually asking, because I am
doing an archetectural work for our local theatre company, we are looking
at buying an old warehouse and converting it, and I have blender-modeled
the place, and several ideas for the inside. The clipping question is about
having a camera above the model, facing down, and then clipping half-way
through the model, so to get a rendered birds-eye view of the place. As
I did the model at a 1meter=10blender-units, and it's quite a big place,
100 clip-start is too small, and I needed to check that removing that limit
on my local version wouldn't do nasty things to opengl.
