Hi jengrant,

You have several resources (check the image attached)
1 - To get straight views of the house you can use the 4 arrows (bottom of the screen), you will get elevations of the house
2 - With the right view on the screen--> you can walk to the house (with the yellow man)
3- In liveview--> bottom of the screen--> the "Thin-wide" slide will help you to get closer (thin)
4 - View (main menu)--> Set plan view zoom--> write the zoom %
5 - and move (in the floor plan) the black triangle to get the required
6 - Select Split Plan/3D View--> Click on the binocular icon (standard toolbar)--> place it in the plan with the exact angle and distance

Hope this helps

Patricia
