Orient a 3D View

Using the ViewCube, you can orient a 3D view to any plan, elevation, section or 3D view in the project.

You can also orient the view to a direction that corresponds to the project coordinates. For example, North corresponds to True North.

If you are using the ViewCube in the Family Editor, or are using it in the Type Properties preview window, you can orient to a direction. Direction corresponds to Front, Back, Left, Right, Top, Back Left Isometric, Back Right Isometric, Front Left Isometric, and Front Right Isometric.
