In the manual it says the following about the clipping modes:

To see inside corridor segments, press the TAB key. This will hide all layers above
and below the layer you are currently editing and it will also remove the top half
of the layer being edited, revealing the inside of the corridor. This makes
placement of entities and markers much easier.
There are three states to the TAB key:
State 1: View current layer and five layers below and above
Allows you to get a feel of how the current layer will align with any layers below
or above it. The Editor has to render up to 11 layers at once, so you may only
want to turn this on to see how you are doing and then revert back to viewing
only the current layer.
State 2: View current layer only
Displays only the current layer. This state is the fastest for the editor to render.
State 3: View and clip current layer
Sometimes you will want to place entities into corridors. Because the corridors
are self contained with their own ceiling, you will need this mode to cut off the
ceiling to see where to place your entities."

visually convincing when viewed from a high location as the horizon cuts off at a
distant camera clipping range, so it is recommended you design your levels
strategically so views into the outside world are controlled for maximum visual
effect. This flag is one option to help you achieve this effect."
I have searched the forums and there doesnt seem to be any mention any thing about it.
I have a model that I made of a spaceship. The floor and walls are working great. The roof however comes close the the floor in places and when you walk to far into the resulting low area your head will go through the roof and the outside of the ship is visible. How can I prevent this?
Even the person that knows the most started out a novice with many questions. Patients and tolorance are the keys to the passage of knowledge. We all have something to learn.
