Sorry, Clipka was right as ever. I use the orthographic camera only as an
auxilliary tool to view objects which are within or very close to a plane (e.g.
for creating hight_fields) and look perpendicular to this plane, so I didn't
came up with the idea to use the this camera within the middle of a complete
(real) 3d scene. There it cuts of all behind the camera with explains the broken
legs above.

One is influenced by one's habits sometimes too much..

Best regards,
Michael
