1: Did you increase the scale of the model?
2: Did you edit your sky file view distance settings? If yes, please post it.

There is a good chance this is the issue. If you can, import it to XSI, scale it in XSI, and add lowrez. Then of course use the new model instead. That should solve the issue.

Scaling large models with the .option can be tricky, I had an odd issue like that when I scaled the Hoth hanger up.

XSI scaling now..thanks for the help so far. :)
EDIT
Problem Solved. Thanks WULF.

Bump:
I'm having the same problem now. As I move to a certain angle around a new model, it disappears. I have not done any .option scaling. Ideas?
EDIT
I just tried an export with Ande's ZEtools. Same results.
