a quick Curve/clipping issue

after i made a Curve/Path and turned it into a pipe for my spaceship, it seems to have messed up my clipping : anything beyond the ends of the pipe as i rotate, were clipping. i’ve reset the depth on the View attributes and it’s ok, but i was just wondering if this is normal? i have converted the Path to an object, BTW, but i can’t think that would affect things?

cheers!

could you provide a screen shot?

no, cos as i said i corrected it. i was just wondering if i’d inadvertantly changed something, or the resetting was a quirk of the Curve util.
