I cant seem to create a large surface without it slowly dissapearing on me when I scroll away, can somebody help me?
alex.aso, you mean you have problems with zoom in & zoom out when using the scroll button so you can't get the exact view you want? Alt+Right button (PC) or Option+Right button (Mac), this will control the zooming.

I think he's more referring to the "clipping plane" of the view ...
Select your camera (top-left menu "view" on the viewport/select camera) and increase your clipping plane values.
Be aware than some functions (i.e fog) do use these values for calculations ...
