Example: Basic View Types
This topic describes the basic view types that are used; general, projection, auxiliary, and detailed. Refer to the topics at the bottom of the page for more specialized view types.
• A general view is usually the first view of a series to be placed, for example, it may serve as the parent for projection views or other views derived from it.
• A projection view is an orthographic projection of another view’s geometry along a horizontal or vertical direction. Projection views are placed in projection channels, above, below or to the right or left of the parent view.
