Is there a way to temporarily rotate top view 90-degrees?
And then change it back?
(Without opening a dimensional-door to some forsaken world : )
I am working on a Y-aligned object (top view), but a times I would like to rotate the view so it goes horizontally on my 15" 16x9 laptop screen.
I tried C-Plane, but it translates the coordinate planes, which I don’t want–yet it doesn’t change the rotation if the top-down view.
The M-Plane seems inappropriate because, once again I don’t want to change the coordinate system, nor am I working on just one object.

Try the _TiltVeiw command.

TiltView
is another command I did not know existed.

UndoView
Thank you. What a handy inclusion it would be in the view menu. Though, I had to undo quite a few times, after a mouse zoom.
I’ve been using Rhino 3D since 2007. I hope to try all the commands some day. : )

One other handy way would be by rotating the view via Shift+Alt+RMB-drag
.
Please note that if you keep the cursor near the viewport edge, the rotation will snap to 5 degree steps making 90 deg turn easy (the cursor will have a small “5” on it…)
Then _Plan
command would restore original top view orientation.
