How to set standard front/right/top views to a random oriented object?

[DDD]

Hi, please see attached image. I am trying to align the camera to each individual element (signage walls, driveway islands etc) to get a series of standard views (front, right, back, top etc.). How should I proceed? 

Thank you.

Since most of the objects seem to have a flat plane, I would use the Set Working Plane tool and then the Look At Working Plane to get a single ("front" elevation).

 

If you only need the objects and not everything around them, I would consider making them symbols and placing an extra copy on a differently layer where they layout orthogonal.

 

Another option is to use the Rotated Plan view to set the Plan view to be orthogonal. You can then switch to a Front/Side/Back view using this rotated view as the basis. If you don't get a warning dialog box (always/never do this) option, then go to Vectorworks Prefererences, Session Tab and click the Reset Saved Settings button at the top right. You will have to reset all of the saved settings and redo them again, but often that is good as you may have told a dialog to never show again and then forgotten there was a different option.

 

Ask again if you need more help.
