the orthographic view at some distance can't =A0p= roduce enough visibility for the layers because at some point the horizonta= l lines become too small.
even if you choose view->look at all= layers (which you tried first, right?)
what you can do is work in segments and choose some of the distant lay= ers and select view-> look at selected layers function.

I tested out your situation and everything looks fine too me if I = understood you correctly.

Working in a massive 3D fly= -through, once I start placing layers at 50,000 pixels in z-space (don'= t ask), I can't even zoom in to the layers from the top orthographic vi= ew, making items almost impossible to select without using the layer timeli= ne. If I zoom all the way out I can sort of see each layer but can't pa= n the view with spacebar either.

Other than setting up the project better from the start, is = there any remedy to this?
