I recreated the pump in a completely new file. Inserted it into the main model and it seams fine. Interesting thing. The file size of the new pump file is only 880 KB as compared to the original 4,200 KB.

Thank you for your help!

As it turns out I just discovered that if I subtracted out the corrupted 3D geometry that the pump would display no matter how far in or out I was zoomed and no matter the visual style.

You really ought to be more careful when creating your 3D objects as inconsistencies like the one seen in your pump can cause no end of trouble and frustration.

As regards the file size of the new 3D pump compared to the original I see that I was on the right track all along.  The pump isn't all that complicated and the fact that one pump was 1/5th the file size of the drawing you were inserting it in made me suspicious.

Glad to hear you got it all sorted out.
