Is it not the same as menu:

Camera\Standardviews\Iso

??

wow, now I feel like an idiot.

But yes, you're right. Lets just say that the metod I showed allows you to do an ISO view in the direction you prefer...

Hm, the Sketchup function let you do this also.
Rotate fairly into the wanted view and choose ISO and it will be aligned exactly into the prefered view.

Haha that's something i completely overlooked. Thanks for the tip.

Got one more question about this:
The Architecture projects i work on are mostly world orientated so they don't follow the sketchup basic axes.
When i change the axes to follow the direction of the building and i want that view in isometric view. sketchup still shows the isometric view based on the basic axes.
Do i something wrong here? or is that the only restriction that your model has to follow the basic axes.

In this case I imagine that my solution should work, but you would have to try it out
