Revit LT creates a perspective 3D view and assigns a name to the view: 3D View1, 3D View2, and so on. To rename the view, in the Project Browser right-click it, and select Rename.

Note: In existing views, you can right-click the ViewCube and select Perspective from the context menu to specify the projection mode.

You can use a section box to limit the viewable portion of a 3D view.
