Settings View of 3D Objects on 2D Worksheet

I'm trying to make a 2D Section drawing which involves placing furniture objects into the line drawing (for instance the Dining Table Rectangle 26), but when I place them they're always in the top view. Is there a setting to change objects to the front view (or define the 2D view for the worksheet?)

Not unless the object is scripted to allow it, which most 3D objects will not be.

2D tree objects are an exception as they let you choose plan or elevation view.

 

With regular objects, place them in plan and the create a section or elevation to look at them from the direction you want.

If you then need to you can then create a worksheet or detail in that section/elevation.
