If you don’t want a model in Edit mode to be clipped by a background you need to move the background back like this:

  1. If your model is already in Edit mode, turn off Edit and press Edit>Undo. This will remove the model from the canvas but leave the background.
  2. Set the Displace Z slider in the Layer palette to a positive number such as 3000. The actual value is not critical but use a fairly large number. This moves the whole layer backwards.
  3. Draw your model on the canvas and press Edit. Your model should no longer be clipped by the background.

Note that the Z depth at which the model is drawn is determined by the Z slider in the Picker palette. For this method to work satisfactorily the value of the Picker>Z slider should be 0 (the default).
