Standard Parallel Projection presets (Top,etc) are rotated

[Anonymous]

In order for me to External Content > Save 3D As Object, it tells me that I have to be in the Top view of the Axonometric view. However, this is rotated (see attached image). When I do correct this manually, via the x,y,z input boxes, the view becomes "Custom", and I cannot Save 3D As Object.

If I do select the rotated "Top" view and then save as object, without correcting it, whenever I place that object, it is placed rotated - which is undesirable.

Any ideas what's going on? Thanks.

The easiest way to set it is to select "Top view" as you have done.
Then grab the little camera icon and drag it below the house.
This should set the "X" angle to 0° and length to 1000, "Y" to 90° and 1000 and "Z" to 0° and 0.
If not you can amend them to these values.

This should give you what you are after.

Thanks Barry, that solved it - effectively setting the camera's "Azimuth" value to 270 degrees.

What I usually do is save this view with a name like "real top view" or something similar. It puzzles me as to why the default top view isn't so.
