      While Creating Scenes, I am attempting to view the plan view of a roof plane. Is there a way to select the face of a roof and view it as the flat plane?

          Could you give more detail as to what your roof looks like?

          There's a standard Top view that you can select. You could also select a face, right click and choose Align View. As Toby mentions, you can set the camera to Parallel Projection if needed.

            And once you are in parallel view you can right click on a face and "Align View"

              Align View did the trick, Thanks.

              There will be less questions as I continue to learn.

                Do I hear an echo? 😆

                Darren, no worries on asking questions. That's a big part of keeping this place going.

                      Good one 😛

                      Dave. Oops.... 😳
                      Didn't noticed you answered before. You were faster typing, because I'm sure your post wasn't there when I wrote mine.
